I do too, and have/use it here. What's there works. There simply isn't likely to be anything further added. Like I said, development has largely ceased.
The mascot is a Chihuahua the guy who started the distro used to own.
It's intended for lower end hardware. One poster in the Puppy forums described how he got a Puppy instance up as a dedicated media server on an ancient Toshiba laptop with a whopping 16

could be deleted and still have a running system, and actually build the Puppy image on a more powerful machine, then transfer the drive to the Toshiba to run it.)
You can do things like run it from a thumb drive if your machine can boot from USB.
It has too many quirks for me to run it as a production OS, but it has a number of devoted users.

The command line can be the fastest and most efficient way to do things.
But generally, you don't need to run as root. You generally need administrative rights for specific operations and can use sudo to get them.
