Re: Are there any cryptocurrency wallet apps I can use on Puppy Linux?

hi @r96chase ,
there's atomic wallet https://atomicwallet.io/
pet here http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... x86_64.pet

note that you need to run atomic with --no-sandbox option & the pet already does this.

Re: Hi all! It's been awhile!

if you're running puppy on an ssd use the pfix=nocopy option. this stops the main sfs loading into ram and ram usage should drop to about 180mb.

Re: Cosmetic changes - how to?

seamonkey might be gtk3 now so you may need a gtk3 theme such as viewtopic.php?p=10319#p10319
or from here https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/135/order/latest/

themes go in /usr/share/themes

you may also need to install lxappearance from the PPM to switch gtk3 themes
