Hello,
I came across Puppy recently and found it interesting. I would like to install it on my Thinkpad L570 which was made in 2017. It is an i5 with 8 GB of ram, so not too slow.
I dont understand which Puppy linux distribution is best for me, or even what the advantage of one over the other is. I like the idea of using an older version of ubuntu as there is less chance of low quality code being added to a system that already works well. I dont know which puppy distribution I should choose and why I would want slackware over ubuntu.
I like the kde look-and-feel the best of all the IDE's I have tried, however I am concerned about bloatware size of it.
I assume I need to choose a puppy distribution based on when my laptop was made to ensure I get all the right drivers.
Either way, please let me know
1) which puppy distribution is the best choice for my laptop.
2) if it is possible to take the icons (which might be just jpg files and includes buttons, menu items, etc) from kde and overwrite the Puppy jpg's, so it ends up looking like KDE with Puppy code and behaviour. This might get rid of the giant size of KDE and give puppy a much more attractive look.
Thanks
Dev
