I've been willing to try Puppy Linux for a while. Maybe next year I'll do it, and if it serves me as well as switching from an old Nokia phone to Android, it won't take long for me to finally switch away from Windows.

I like running an OS until I decide it's time to change it, rather than being subjected to forced obsolescence.

I never enjoyed switching from one version of Windows to another, yet I had a good experience with Windows XP.

I like an OS that runs faster on older equipment than new commercial OSs do on new equipment.

Just look at the hardware requirements for any recent Windows or Mac OS, while a much more streamlined OS could do it better, and effectively increase the useful life of simpler hardware. Well, maybe if KaiOS released a desktop version of its OS meant for feature-phones, enabling them to perform almost the same as a smartphone, I guess I could stay some 20 years without even lurking about switching to an OS to another, even if I replaced computers once in a while if and when I wanted something with more memory.

I like not being bugged to put every aspect of my life up on somebody else's server. I like living on earth and not in "the cloud".

I also take "the cloud" with a grain of salt.
