Fed up of trying Linux Distros - Puppy Linux is the BEST!
Posted: Sun 01 Jan 2012, 15:35
This an copy of something I wrote on the Fedora support page. It could easily apply to all major distros except Puppy (and its derivatives).
"This one is to all you Geeks out there;
Fedora comes in many flavors. Its all about choosing a preferred window manager and there you have it. After a while all of them get boring regardless of how much software you throw on it. Lets face it. We need a performance driven, highly tweaked Fedora spin that will satisfy people like myself. Since you're all so bright why don't you come up with an amazing Fedora spin tailored for speed and performance? The Linux kernel is open source so make use of it and tweak it to its maximum. Sure Fedora and all other major companies will come up with updated releases from time to time but nothing really fundamental changes. Windows is far more radical whenever a new release comes out. Linux plays with windows managers and folks like to compare desktops as if that was the main thing whenever a company updates its distro. Oh and by the way the Suse Studio feature is crap although Fedora could create something similar but much better. Build me a fast booting, high performance spin with all the essential software and codecs (last time I installed Fedora took me ages to install the necessary codecs). A spin not over 500mb that I can operate from a USB pendrive. And please forget about Firefox; Opera is far better.
A good year to you all!
PS: Maybe you can learn something from Puppy Linux"
You're on the right way. You have my support.
Puppy Linux will grow and get its right place in the Linux community!
