To put things in context, we use Puppy Linux primarily as a portable operating system, booted from a USB thumb drive, which we carry everywhere we go. Creating a bootable USB drive with Puppy Linux on a Windows 10 personal computer was a breeze. We used Rufus for this task, and the entire process, including downloading Fossapup64 9.5, was smooth and took less than 5 minutes. Likewise, setting up the operating system on the first boot was straightforward, thanks to its intuitive user interface and helpful prompts. Puppy Linux includes applications, including Pale Moon web browser and AbiWord. With these out-of-the-box applications serving our needs, we have not had to install additional applications. The graphical user interface is easy to use. Everyday tasks, like opening and closing applications, folders, and files, feel snappy. At the end of each session, we can save the session, including settings and the files created or downloaded during the session. In this way, we can continue from where we left off on the next boot, thus saving us the time and inconvenience of configuring things such as the internet connection and firewall again.

It provides a lot of software packages without using a lot of resources of your computer. Install Puppy on your old computer and have fun.

It was a quick and easy USB boot and install. Once it was up and going, I could do all the basic computing tasks someone would need throughout the day. It is grandma and grandpa friendly, and it is a fun, low resource-intensive OS.
