Interested in a lightweight distro that is truly just that and behaves like Puppy Linux?
Then perhaps you'd like to take a look at Quirky Void. Here is the introduction by Barry Kauler himself. Mr. Kauler of course being the creator of Puppy Linux.
Granted this OS is still in it's experimental phase but it is very usable for daily browsing and general use. Maybe not as a daily driver (yet) because of it being experimental.
Some perks worth mentioning:
**Very easy to install. Just use ANY native Linux image writer to write to an USB drive (min 16GB, 32 GB and up recommended) or internal SSD. Also third party image writers should work. And the DD command install of course.
**'Frugal install'. The whole installation contained in 1 folder.
**Very low RAM usage and easy on the CPU.
**Blazing fast and super responsive
**For older and newer hardware
Just to name a few. I invite you to get a pen drive you have laying around and get QV a spin if you'd like to try something entirely different.
Testers are very welcome at this point as BK is looking in to developing this further in the future. There are already some Puppians testing QV. More are welcome to do so.
If you are looking for a minimalist yet complete lightweight distro which is fast, responsive and secure this might be right up your alley.
This is not an advertisement of any sorts but rather a shout-out from a very enthusiastic user who only just discovered QV this afternoon. Another masterpiece from BK.
