It is designed to be more Debian-compatible than traditional Puppy Linux, supporting the apt package manager and standard Debian drivers.
Traditional Puppy used its own package manager, pkg , which could become inconsistent. Vanilla DPup provides a full dpkg and apt implementation alongside the Puppy-native pkg command. A user can type apt install firefox and get the exact same Debian package they would on a standard Debian system. This eliminates the "dependency hell" that plagued older puplets.
