Puppy linux was my first linux install back when I was around 13 years old, and I remember it fondly. I recall I even found it easier to get up and running than ubuntu. (Which is somewhat puzzling in hindsight?)

It was my first linux too, also at 13. I still have the boot CD I burned, framed on my wall.

In my experience Ubuntu is one of the harder distros to get working when it doesn't work ootb.

Agreed. This is exactly why I built Shell Bling Ubuntu https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu , and test it every 6 months or so against a fresh install of Ubuntu in a VM - I don't want to have to remember all the little trivia I have to use to get all of my little command line tools, neovim setup, etc. working together harmoniously. The best part is I can hand it off to my colleagues and blow their minds with just how nice a terminal experience can be, "out of the box", kinda.
