Yes, but I think we're working on that. :D

Lucid wasn't perfect all at once, either.

I dearly hope that my poor English is not seen as bad criticism
I am just spoiled by the ability to use an external screen for my
bad eye sight using Lupu and then when everybody talk about
how Slacko is a good build and it fails on what a noob see as easy
things like getting graphics right then I most likely is very unfair.

It could be a very childish reaction by me to all the praise.

Take the contempt the Slackware supporters in Linux Questions
had for Porteus.

I mean their beloved Slackware does not work at all on my gear
and how I install while Porteus is one of the few outside of Puppy
that does work. So either the Slackware supporters are so envy
on Porteus that the only way them can react is total denial of failure
or to take the ideological stance that what I do and what Porteus allow
should not be done and should be discouraged by using ridicule as
weapon against it.

Yes I hate Microsoft tactics and their very poor coding too.
But to be so hating that one refuse to make the OS load on
NTFS that is to be overly fanatic. If almost ever potential linux
user out there only can affordably buy a Ms Win machine and need
that for to be able to talk computer with relatives sharing software
for their smartphone upgrades and to talk to Support customer care.

Then to wipe that out instead of doing dual boot is to be fanatic.
My approach is that one have what is available and make the best use
of these instead of demanding everybody to abandon what them payed
for. That is not to support Microsoft at all. One use Dual boot to get
totally independent of them. If one delete it then one get totally dependent
on them when the Smartphone tells you that the only way to update is
to use Ms Win because them don't support Linux update. To be pragmatic.
sorry I get worked up. I am obviously a boot frugally on NTFS fanatic.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
