I found another Puppy called" TrixiePup64Wayland".
It is probably coming from Debian 13 Trixie.
I love it because it has Synaptic Package Manager.
It already has AbiWord but I installed additional libraries.
Installed Audacity, too.
Hope they retain them when I boot just like EasyOS.
It saved the file as sfs file in one of my NTFS3 folder as EXT4 of 512MB.
Just like in the old day.
It won't boot on Debian.
I removed it including the Image file for good.
My own reasons for using Debian are;
1. It is very stable.
2. Its Debian Installer is distribution dependent unlike the Calamara Installer which is distribution independent.
3. I prefer the old Debian graphic installer which is very easy to use.
4. Its window management is stable and smooth.
5. Besides, I am a Debian user for a long time.
I do not want to fiddle with the programs, I regularly use. Due to long term use I am very comfortable with Debian.
6. SNAPs are in containers and are very bulky.
7. Debian still has Synaptic Package Manager to which one can fall back, if the SNAP installer fails. Flatpak is based on container sandboxes to mitigate the dependency problems, if there are any.
8. Box utility lets me test drive live distributions.
9. OBS lets me play music and videos.
10. I am hesitant of daily updates.
In reality, I can schedule and configure them on weekly or monthly basis, if I desire,so.
11. The integration of SNAP and Synaptic by Debian is smooth and the same application is not installed twice.
12. Ubuntu lets one duplicate and install two packages (one in a separate SNAP container) of the same application.
Of course, I had Ubuntu as a separate distribution installed in my NUC and it was not difficult for me to find the inconsistencies.
13. Ultimately, I erased Ubuntu and installed fourth instance of Gnome in my NUC, in case I need to test some applications, I rarely use.
I have installed Netrunner, to have the occasional feel of the KDE desktop.
14. Lately, I found a way to install Debian packages such as Ulaucher, MutlSystem USB, Opera and Vivaldi browser using Debian Package Installer, which is called GDebi Package Installer.
15. What is different in different distributions is the desktops type.
16. Debian has a Live DVDs for most of the Desktops and one can pick and choose the distribution one needs, having tested them on a Live Session.
17. Different distributions have different plans and some of them are heavily involved in commercial activities which include Redhat, Fedora, Zorin and SuSe Linux.
To my dislike, Ubuntu is also slowly but surely moving towards a commercial base. Of course, that is their choice, to which they are entitled.
18. These commercial entities either pay or entice the YouTube presenters to twists the narrative in favour of a particular distribution, thereby bending and twisting the ideology of Free Software Protocol.
The ultimate plan is to direct the newbie user to a particular distribution.
I do not like that ploy.
19. Tuxedo and Pop OS come to my mind.
20. There is nothing wrong in this approach for corporate guys with business ventures but an average user buying these product except a USB or a DVD is surreptitiously exploited.
21. Nobody, in my long exposure to Linux has asked me for an image of Linux. In any case,I won't dish out my USBs with Linux distributions written on them, free of charge. USBs have become expensive and nowadays are of high capacity. What is available in Australia is 32GB or higher. A typical good distribution is under 4GB and writing an image on 32GB USB wastes 28GB of the total capacity.
EasyOS is the only distribution that uses the full capacity of the USB. The last version of the distribution is based on excalibur but I prefer the scarthgap.
I have erased all my USBs with a Linux distribution written on them and kept a few of the 4GB and 8GB USBs for testing Linux images. The reason being, I can use the Box Utility to test them instead of writing them on USB sticks and booting which is time consuming, to say the least.
