Puppy is great once you spend some time with it, the PET system is more akin to the Windows way of doing things than anything else out there in Linux land! Think of Flatpack or Snap or any of the other recent package systems for Linux, Puppy has had PET for years, download, double click on it and it installs, simple.
Puppy is different though, and probably not suited to everyone. I prefer the older releases, up to and including version 4, wasn't keen on the idea or implementation after 4 when it started been based on Ubuntu and Slackware. It's a great OS for old systems and has served me quite well as a rescue system too, more than once.
There's also Quirky Linux now which is more like the old Puppy, plus it's developed by the original Puppy developer Barry Kauler.
