Hello again everyone. I am also learning the first steps in Linux. And the question is, what desktop environment or window manager does Puppy Linux use?

Most Puppies, including BookwormPup64 use JWM (Joe's Window Manager) with the ROX-Filer file manager.

No matter what gets announced on distrowatch, puppylinux.com is the first search result for "puppy linux" and needs to be updated. I think this is way more important than representation on dw.

Yes! Was wondering why no one was addressing the fossa in the room.

Using Ventoy 1.0.97, alpha2 doesn't work, at least on my computer. It seems to go through the boot process fine, but then it's just black.

alpha2 is already out? What are the differences between it and alpha1?

IMO, BookwormPup64 and F96-CE too (edit: probably more suitable for modern computers).

Maybe S15Pup64 too? I'm less sure of that, though.

Reply with why you may or may not be fine with it.

How exactly would this be useful for Puppy?

KDE Plasma 6, Frameworks 6, Gear 24.02

Or if you want the specific kernel-kit build, alpha2 uses the one here. The artifacts have since expired, though.

@IdfbAn

Thanks for doing this ............. on the page it informs you the ISO is 3 weeks old.

Which kernel are you using for this particular build?

I'm using the release.yml workflow for now, so the one here. (At least, I think)
