@Derfdog,

Welcome to the forum.  Glad you made it.  I think I know what you mean about Puppy.  I don't really understand it.  I can't imagine using it full time or recommending it to a friend or family member.  But lots of folks do like it, and I'm happy when a distro finds its audience. 

Hard to believe Mint was slow on your machine.  Were you using their KDE version?  I like Mint and I'm glad they realize their updates offering can be off-putting for some users.  I can just see people I know being worried about installing a level 4 or level 5 update fearing it might hurt their machine.  In a recent blog post on the Mint site, they recognize this and are making changes.  Things are simpler here with Linux Lite, and therefore easier for me to use and recommend.

Got tired of Windows and their blessed updates that seem to break stuff.
Been trying different distros for the past 3 weeks going through about 6 different versions, really liked Mint but it seemed so slow on my system.  Had high hopes for Puppy Slacko 64 bit because it was fast, but I was having graphic issues that could not be resolved as a newbie linux person.
Tried Lite 3 days ago and it clicked.

Thanks
Derfdog
