I had a work PC fail at a quarter to five one Friday night. They needed a PC on the floor to view online PDFs for production. The workshop is on a different network to our office domain. The only spare I had was set-up for domain access. At close to five I didn't want to reinstall Windows. I downloaded Puppy Linux to a USB flash drive and set them up for the night shift. It's still running. It's faster and more stable than the rest of our network.

I’ve never even considered using Puppy.<p>Anyone using Puppy as a daily driver? What’s your experience like?<p>I’m currently Fedora+Gnome and Arch+Sway, depending on the machine. Pretty happy with both, but Debian compatibility would be nice, since that’s what I run in production.

I had used puppy for about a year, it&#x27;s super fast, loaded the entire os into ram at boot. Gave up on it when I started trying to get non-repo software into pups, certain things just wouldn&#x27;t work, Kodi for example, so I moved on.
