PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Noble64 - compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 - with Mate as DE :: Build 241007![]()

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 Mate 24.04 241007![]()
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.10.13-exton. This is special about this new PuppEX version:![]()
1. I've replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with Mate ("The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems"), which I find more useful.![]()
2. I've added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages: puppex.exton.se/puppex-noble64-mate-installed-packages-241007.txt![]()
The ISO size is therefore rather BIG (2030 MB), but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM. You'll need at least 4GB RAM to run this PuppEX version.![]()
3. I've installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot: puppex.exton.se/puppex-noble64-fullscreen-vbox-241007.jpg![]()
4. I've included devx_puppex-noble64.sfs in the ISO file. Load it if you need it.![]()
NOTE: When the boot process is ready you will automatically be logged in as root to the Mate Desktop. The password for root is root (if you for some reason should need it). When logged in to the Mate DE you must wait a few seconds before the Desktop and the apps are fully loaded.![]()

COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS![]()
PuppEX Noble64 Mate is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 ("Noble Numbat"), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. ("apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage" etc).![]()
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn't work in PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.![]()
NOTE: PuppEX Noble64 Mate uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029...![]()

That is best done in the same way (frugal) as regards PuppEX Jammy64. Read about how to do that at the INFO site.![]()

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 24.04 241002![]()
This Puppy derivative is a simple remaster of Noblepup64 24.08, which was released 240906 by “peebee”. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. Noblepup64 is one of the the best Puppy Linux systems I’ve ever tried so I decided to make it even better. My small changes of the original system:![]()
1. I’ve replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with LXDE (DE for All), which I find more useful.![]()
2. I’ve added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. ![]()
The ISO size has therefore increased from 990 MB to 1020 MB, but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! (Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM).![]()
3. I’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. ![]()
4. Some cosmetic changes. I.e. new wallpapers and icons.![]()

IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn’t work in Noblepup64 24.08. I had to use my “special remaster tricks” to be able to build PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.![]()
NOTE: Noblepup64.24.08/PuppEX Noble64 uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029…![]()
