Dark Puppy Linux

I was out of touch with Puppy Linux and wanted to find a distribution that come with preinstalled Abiword.
Only Puppy Linux does it but EasyOS Puppy Linux does not support Abiword and I do not intend using it.
Only Fossa Pup (Ubuntu based0 and S15Pup64 is highlighted in Puppy Linux web site.
I went to archive Linux and found Dark Pup which has 2GB and 5GB images.
I would come out with a report soon.
 Dark Puppy Linux
 Dark Puppy Linux, also known as Dark Puppy, is a custom version of Puppy Linux that focuses on providing a "dark mode" experience and includes pre-installed software, particularly for developers and gamers. 
It aims to simplify tasks and offer a visually appealing, user-friendly environment, especially for those who prefer darker themes.
Here's a more detailed look.
 
Dark Theme Focus 
Dark Puppy is designed with a stark black theme, making it distinct from standard Puppy Linux distributions.

Pre-installed Software
It comes with a range of pre-installed applications, including developer tools (like ProtonVPN, QEMU, and Wireshark) and gaming-related software (like ProtonVPN and various utilities).
 
User-Friendly
The distribution aims to be user-friendly, with pre-configured settings and a focus on ease of use. 

Two Editions
There are two main versions of Dark Puppy:
 a basic version (2.1GB) and 
a "Bad Ass Edition" (5.1GB), which is geared towards gamers.
 
Based on Fossapup64
Dark Puppy is based on Fossapup64, a well-known Puppy Linux derivative. 

Developer-Friendly
Features like pre-installed development tools and a focus on customization make it suitable for developers.
