How to install XFCE on Bionicpup 8 64 properly?

Hello everyone, I hope to find you and your families and friends all safe. So I love Bionicpup 8 64 and use it as my daily driver because Bionicpup is the only Linux distro I can easily boot off usb while keeping Windows 10 on my hard drive. No dual boot possible as this pc is blocked by the manifac...

Hello everyone. So I've used Bionicpup 8 64 bits for about 3 weeks now. It's a frugal install on a usb stick. It runs flawlessly for me. I'm very happy with it but this "saving ram to pup_save" is set on every 30 minutes and it's very annoying. I know I can set it to 0 and it won't appear ...

Bionicpup 8 save file on hard drive?

Hello everybody. I hope you're all fine. So Bionicpup 8 is installed on a usb stick because my pc is blocked by the manifacturer. But when I turned off my Puppy for the first time it created a 4Gb save file on the usb stick. However, with MX Linux I can boot from the usb and my persistent file is in...

Makemkv and Emby Server on Bionicpup 8?

Issues with xfce, lxde in BionicPup 8

Hello everyone, I hope you're all fine. So it's my second week living with Bionicpup 8 and I like to tinker a bit, discovering how it works day by day and I played a little with the settings. First I tried to install xfce. went in the PPM, downloaded xfce4. It all went fine. No missing dependencies....

But Puppy was my solution, booting from usb. But I was so obsessed with apt-get not being present that I spent a...

Install a second puppy on the same usb stick????

Hello everyone. I hope you're doing fine. So I have Bionicpup 8 64bits with a UEFI frugal install on my USB stick. It's running flawlessly. I wanted to try Stretchdog on another USB stick but my pc doesn't recognize it on startup because there's no UEFI option to install it. So I was wondering. Is i...

You must connect on your account via this extension and it encrypts your HTTP traffic with TLS protocol, has an option that allows disabling the WebRTC protocol and also a cybersec option, kind...

OK so what's strange is that I managed to install Raspbian for desktop on another usb stick and via openvpn it works right out of the box. But Raspbian is buggy and I've never had a single crash on Puppy so I want to stay here. But if it works right out of the box on Raspbian, there must be somethin...

I'm sure it's just a matter of settings and configuration. On Windows it's super easy they all have an app. You just click and connect. On linux it's a little more complicated. But I had read that PPTP was super easy. Server adress, username and password. I must be honest. I don't know anything abou...

Thanks to the both of you but I think I'll follow what cthisbear said and boot with my usb stick. After all Puppy copies to ram and it's super fast and it doesn't change anything to the hard drive.

Thanks again great Puppy community
