BookwormPup64 10.0.13 with chrooted VLC3-portable64. Learning about chrooting applications and this is my first success. This has great utility and will add to the versatility of using Puppy running 'older versions' of applications enjoying the security of a recent OS release.

Hm. Of course, that change is primarily being pushed through by the Red Hat dev team, who contribute more to the kernel than anyone else. This gives them a fair bit of 'clout'.
FWIW, don't forget.....Red Hat is now owned by IBM, the "stodgiest" of the old-school manufacturers from the early days. And IBM DO love "conformity" above all else (everybody singing from the same hymn-sheet.....with them dictating what songs are going to be allowed).

Without the slightest wish at all to "get you going",Based on certain experiences of mine, I wouldn't touch anything IBM® with anything less than a light-year stick.
Please don't get me going.
, IBM is already deeply involved in the linux kernel. The code linux machines use includes contributions from IBM engineers. See here for a brief overview: https://www.ibm.com/careers/blog/linux-kernel-development-at-ibm. The acquisition of Red Hat by IBM just corralled thousands more linux engineers into the IBM sphere of influence, though how that plays out isn't clear yet I think. Linux is supported by big business because it's so useful to them, commercially advantageous I guess. It's past the time when large players could disdainfully dismiss linux. The protection of its free and open source nature is ultimately, that GPL licence. As long as large interests honour that, they are free to contribute.

Yip... Something lik 90% of the kernel's code comes from people being paid to work on it. The remainder is mostly contributions from students at various educational facilities, as far as I know. Linux hasn't been a 'grassroots movement' for a long time. Even Microsoft has its hands in the pie.
I got board today so I installed Lubuntu 26.04 runs great.
Download the minimal iso version and it's 100% snap free.
Download the Firefox tarball and extract it and use it.
You can then install only the needed and wanted software via the terminal.

Them's rookie numbers.
I'm working on about 18 years with the same basic desktop, though I've lately changed the wall paper and added the occasional button to the tray.JWM with some personalized tools added to the tray, wbar (icon dock), no icons on the desktop itself.
I love your cat-with-coffee wall paper.
Now then:-
I've posted about an "experiment" in the last few days, which I carried out last year.....though I've since "lost" that particular Puppy 'frugal'. Too many things were going wrong with it, though I do now know what was behind it all.....
Anyways. I've 're-created' the experiment with a duplicate of another, older (though well-maintained) Puppy. It's somewhat of a departure from my 'standard' Puppy desktop layout, which has been more or less the same for several years now.
I've finally got gKrellM laid out horizontally along the top of the screen, as opposed to the OOTB, vertical 'stack' it normally comes as. This is summat I've been tiffling around with for years, on & off.....until last year, when I decided to try 'portabilizing' gKrellM as a self-contained application. Which actually worked out pretty good...!
As a portable app (including theme, plugins and config files) it still tapes out at under 2.5 MB all-in. With all the upgrades I pulled over Xmas & the New Year, I have TBs of storage and to spare.....so my plan worked out fine.
For the horizontal gKrellM layout, I needed 7 independent gKrellM "installs", each supplying a specific category of process monitor. Each was then set-up to display JUST one specific item.....after which, all 7 were then launched, appropriately sized & slotted-into the newly-created desktop background.
The 'portables' were also sym-linked into Puppy's /root/Startup directory, so they all launch again at the following boot.

As I said.....something of a departure for me, but I don't think it's turned out badly at all!
Anybody recognise the wallpaper.....and know where it originated?
