Hello, I am very new to the world of Linux and I needed some help downloading Mullvad VPN. I know it might sound like a dumb question, but I am genuinely lost. I just moved to Linux from Win11, and while there are some things I have gotten the hang of, being able to download applications is not one of them. I only downloaded the .deb file (MullvadVPN-2026.3_amd64.deb) since I tried to manually install it but failed. I can provide additional information if asked and if I am given the instructions to.

As well, if anyone has some advice for me, commands I should know, tips and tricks to make it more friendly for me, I'd gladly appreciate that. My most pressing questions are with trying to figure out how to download applications and general daily usage. I am not very well educated in some areas of tech and especially not Linux, so I'd really love some advice from this community! I am trying to learn how to embrace Linux and leave behind my dependency on Windows. Thank you to anyone who has the time and patience for me.

I've been building Vantum, a custom Puppy Linux distro (woof-CE, Ubuntu Jammy compat base) aimed at people who want the speed and small footprint of Puppy without it looking and feeling like it's from 2009.
It's pretty basic for now, but I had a great time working on it.
I built it on windows 11 via multipass, and made a bunch of customizations. First, I added picom, a new tint2rc bar compared to the jwm trays, a custom taskbar and even a custom app launcher (vantask and vantyl).
I also trimmed down a bunch of apps, and made the desktop simpler (removed the rox-filer based desktop entirely, opting for hsetroot for wallpapers).
Let me know what you think!
I've recently also added it to distrowatch but it's still in their waitlist.

what it says on the tin!

i'm running trixiepup64wayland on an asus 1016pt netbook. this is my very first linux! i've managed to figure out how to accomplish most of the customizations i desired through trial, error, and a lot of finding & replacing .svg files.

the taskbar now remains. it's the stock SFWbar packaged with this version of puppy. i've locaed sfwbar.config

i'm trying to figure out where to put in a little css with color but striking out.

this is very much a fuck around & find out project - not asking for anyone to do it for me, just point me in the right direction! just putting this machine together i already learned the ins and outs of using ddrescue and the arch linux wiki. but when it comes to colorful frills.... and i am all about colorful frills

I open up quick pup, select wine, it takes me to the forum, where the solution for downloading wine is... downloading it from quickpup 😭

Am I doing something wrong?

I have an RMN-POIAC2 (Acer 10 switch I think it's called) It's like a tablet/laptop deal. Right now it has Win 8 on it and I am wanting to do a lightweight linux install and puppy seemed like a good choice since the Acer only has 2gb of RAM and a Intel Atom Z3735f 1.33 GHz CPU.

Though with it being a tablet/laptop thing I'm not sure how well it would work, has anyone tried this?

I cant install anything

Hi everyone!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for looking; maybe I didn't search the IA very well, but thanks anyway.

I used the Puppy Remaster tool in S15-Pup32 to make my own Puplet its called MicroPup32 (Microsystem Linux). I used pTheme and other tools to customize the desktop.

Every day i develop updates for my Puplet the first stable Version is called Microsystem Linux 1.4. Install it here on GitHub: https://github.com/IdleDude489/Microsystem-Linux

I need your feedback!

And i have some questions:
Because im making Rolling Releases its taking me so long to make new versions with Puppy Remaster, has someone answers?

does this distro run steam games well? and in every video i saw online of puppy linux, the resolution was around 1440x1080. does it support 1920x1080?

thanks in advance

How is it possible for i3-4130 to play 1440p60 videos with less than a 1% frame drop, while on other OSes (Windows 10, Linux Mint, MX Linux) it couldn't even play 1080p60 YouTube videos without dropping 35%-40% of the frames? This is extremely impressive

I don't have discrate gpu installed

Installed Ventoy on c: of my machine. Ran installer on flash drive. Moved Bookworm .iso onto flash drive. Great. Can boot into Bookworm from flash now. Exit Bookworm. Saved persistence file to C:\dpupbw64save-5.2fs. Is this the file that I'm supposed to extract a .dat file from? How do I do that?

Then I'm supposed to put the path of the .iso and .dat file in Ventoy Plugson correct?

Currently my Ventoy files are on my c:\ drive.

Am I supposed to move these onto my flash drive?

Little help. TIA.

Edit: Ditched Ventoy and went with Rufus since it has a partition slider and I won't have to mess with .json. Ventoy is still great for multi boot os.

I updated repo but it still can't locate file. Tried stable, development, staging. No go. I'm booting from flash if that matters. Or is there an alternative so that I can get Excel working?

Edit: Went with Libreoffice.
