@InvaderSumo :- In fact, thinking about it, the sole Windows-only video-editor I've ever found that actually "plays nice" with WINE is VideoPad, from NCH Software. And despite that it does exactly what you'd expect it to, many will refuse to have anything to do with apps from NCH Software...

Of course, if JJ really wants MSPaint, he could run it.....under WINE. I've had it installed for years in Puppy.....though I wouldn't really recommend installing WINE just for this, since you're looking at around half-a-GB worth of Windows emulation for a 400 kb app. I have WINE installed for a...

@InvaderSumo :- Depends on what your definition IS of "really good video editor software". As JasKinasis says above, those 3 - Openshot, Flowblade & KDEnlive - are going to be the most obvious candidates. Personally, I don't like Flowblade and /or KDEnlive.......I've been using Openshot for...

I started using Firefox around 2005, back in my XP days; Internet Exploder was just going from bad to worse.....to say it was useless was being kind to it! FF was a revelation in those days, but within 2-3 years it was getting "iffy"; memory leaks galore, and it developed a nasty habit of...

Mama had one of these 3000-series Dell "15"s, several years ago. She lost interest in it after 18 months or so (the arthritis was making it impossible for her to type anything by then), so it sat in the cupboard for 2-3 years. It eventually found its way to my sister, but while it was "idle" I...

Huh? Excuse me..? You've obviously never taken a Puppy for a spin! She's pure ALSA, through & through.....except (like ron.alan says) where we have to employ PA 'emulation' - via apulse - for things like getting Firefox to produce audio output. As for "can't use ALSA without...

I believe Zorin shipped with Chrome as the pre-installed default browser a few years back. It only lasted for one release, but.....the option WAS there (for those that wanted it). Mike. :p

Me, I run so many different 'portable' browsers - specially built for Puppy, though with a few tweaks (mainly permission changes, I'd guess) they'd probably run in any distro - that I don't really have a "default" browser as such. I just fire up whatever takes my fancy for the day..!! As for FF...

Oops! You're right. Fair comment; I'd missed that. My bad.... :oops: Mike. o_O

@f33dm3bits :- Um.....an RV 390 ain't an RTX 3090! It's not even the same manufacturer..... :p @Thordox :- It boils down to this. Everybody takes the p**s out of Kali users asking 'basic' questions for one simple reason.....because if you're going to use Kali, it's automatically assumed that...

@wildman :- 'Kay. I assume you create these images yourself, yes? So; you'd start with a base image, then add all the other images and text to it, re-size and re-position as required? Sheesh. See, I know what ya mean, because I do a lot of this kinda thing myself. There's one big snag with...

@wildman :- If you let us know what kind of image manipulation you want to accomplish, I'm sure we can recommend some suitably straight-forward programs that will do the job. Linux has everything.....from "easy" to "expert". Mike. ;)

@wildman :- Wellll......Photoshop ain't exactly a "walk in the park" either, y'know? Graphic design has been a passion of mine for well over 40 years. I've been using these boxes of black magic for nearly that long.....certainly since the late 70s. I've used the G.I.M.P ever since it was...

Well, here's my current "dressed-up" Grub4DOS menu for the kennels on the big HP desktop rig:- Sorry for the crappy picture quality; this was my third attempt after the images on the phone's MicroSD card decided to temporarily go AWOL. (I absolutely loathe doing screenies from a mobile...

32 GB DDR4 here - and 64 GB of swap! Plus 'swappiness' set to 10..... (There's method in the madness. I hibernate most nights, and this HP gets very snotty if you try to split the contents of RAM up between smaller swap areas. But then, I've got almost 5 TB of storage here as well, so disk...

'Kayyy... So; by this comment, I'm assuming that continuous, never-ending large numbers of new posts are seen as a "good thing", yes? Perhaps I'm thick.....but do me a favour and explain the logic behind this, would ya? Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the site's SEO rating, could it...

To be honest, I bother very little with the apps, either. Reason being that I don't "install" stuff at all these days; so much stuff I regularly use - including browsers, natch! - has been re-built into self-contained, "portable" format. At most, I 'link' launcher scripts and .desktop files into...

Puppy backups are crazy simple. Once a week, I copy the 'save-folders' from every Puppy in the 'kennels' to an external USB 3.0 HDD.....deleting the previous week's before doing so. The 'save' is the only part that needs backing-up; the system files look after themselves, since they load into...

I wanted to perform exactly this same test on a bunch of USB drives myself a couple or 3 years ago.....the more so, given that most of my 'fleet' of drives (got dozens and dozens of 'em!) are getting to be USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 Gen1. I wanted to do this with a GUI, though I knew I'd be happy...

@GatorsFan :- I concur; under normal circumstances, Ungoogled Chromium doesn't auto-update. The Puppy version will, though! Amongst the host of portable browsers I and a bunch of others have put together for the Puppy community, we have one for UgC. I found a build over at Github, compiled by...
