New to Linux an Puppy. But like to try. I use Google YouTube a lot. Have to have either Chrome or Firefox for visiting YouTube. I want to be sure that Puppy can let me visit YouTube.

Thanks.

You should be able to put Firefox on it, I used to.

Thank you.
Have downloaded BionicPup32 and made a bootable and installed Chrome and visited YouTube, but no sound. What have missed, please?

Probably pulse audio.

Thank you.

Thanks for the link.

"Firefox needs pulse audio to play audio."
I do not "pulse audio" and I did not go to YouTube via Firefox.

I am using a bootable USB. On Bionic desktop, I double clicked Web Browser, and input Chrome, then Google Chrome showed up, I downloaded and installed, and then went to You Tube. Everything played well but no sound.

Do not know how to operate the configurations.

I have lots of problems with Youtube & lack of sound, they keep changing things at their end; some videos play sound whilst others don't - if you really want to hear a video, I suggest you download it to your computer, it will play with sound then, (then just delete it to regain your space).

Thank you.
I do not RELY on YouTube for everything. Only 2 things: NBC news, New York Times, and some music. That's all. And that is all I want to do with BionicPup once it is installed properly.

While I don't know your situation might I suggest Puppy may not be for you? You may want to try something a bit more complete. Mint, Xubuntu, an XFCE spin of Fedora. The first 2 would be more useful as they come. You wouldn't have to add anything for basic functionality.

Thank you.
Puppy Linux is the right one for me since I do not need anything heavy or sophisticated if it does not block the connections to new websites and Google YouTube. Just doesn't sound reasonable that Light blocks all connections to all websites such as NBC, New York Times, YouTube, etc.

@ Jofto :-

If you're running the 32-bit version of Bionicpup - from peebee, I presume? - then there's no way on God's green earth you could run an up-to-date Chrome. Google haven't produced 32-bit Linux builds of Chrome for nearly 7 years.....April, 2016 (I believe).

Which was all part of a bigger drive, at that time, to force everyone into 64-bit computing (even in 2016, it had been around for at least 15 years that I know of).

peebee does produce 32-bit packages of Chromium; a modified build by AlienBob of Slackware if I remember rightly.

Why don't you come and visit us at the main Puppy Forum..?

You can ask all the questions you like; most members here run mainstream Linux distros, and don't really understand or appreciate the way Puppy does things.....and the fact that Puppy 'runs-as-root' all the time horrifies them!!

In Puppies there is a Sound Setup Menu, go there and select a card, test it, move to the next ... until you get one that works.
