If one of these things interest you, read on..

Bookworm Pup64 highlights
• Local Woof-CE build of Bookworm64 (with customized desktop presentation)
• GTK3 graphical interface (with GTK2 limited to a few legacy applications)
X.org graphical server (rather than Xwayland)
• Overlay file system (rather than Aufs)
• Apt/Synaptic package management provided by the included bdrv. The original Puppy Package Manager (PPM) is also included but functionality is now constrained to minimize conflict with Apt/Synaptic. Even so, PPM retains compatibility with legacy pet packages.
• DKMS support (Debian's out-of-tree driver building infrastructure) which includes the kbuild.sfs (small builtin subset of the traditional kernel sources). See Note-1 below.
• Bluetooth support
• ConnMan network manager
• Pipewire audio
• Zstd rather than xz compression of SFS files (faster decompression and lower CPU consumption, but 8-15% increase in SFS size)
• Generous assortment of builtin applications available in each menu category (or use APT/Synaptic package management to install your choice of additional applications available in the comprehensive Debian repositories)
• Firefox-ESR browser included as the sole application in the optional adrv. Please note: the adrv is easily removed if a different internet browser is preferred. Additionally, in this release there is no default ydrv, so the user may optionally create and populate a supplemental ydrv with preferred applications.
• Desktop management by JWMdesk-3.7 and companion applications, plus the added convenience of the versatile Synapse Application/File Launcher. For Synapse usage guidelines, please go to Puppy Menu -> Help -> HOWTO use the Synapse Application Launcher.

Note-1: Bookworm Pup64 supports non-free firmware and DKMS builds of out-of-tree kernel modules. For example, with APT or Synapse you can easily auto-compile and install broadcom or nvidia proprietary drivers such as broadcom-sta-dkms, nvidia-tesla-kernel-dkms (525), and nvidia-tesla-470-kernel-dkms.

Note-2: The Bookworm Pup64 iso is larger than other recent Pups, primarily due to (1) zstd compression of SFS files, (2) support for DKMS and Apt/Synaptic package management, and (3) expanded hardware support in the comprehensive Debian-based fdrv and zdrv.
