Is it possible to use this distro on a Acer AO722 with AMD C-50?
How is OpenGL Support?
I will mainly be using the lappy for browsing when not at home, but at the same time i would like to play some old games/open source games like OpenRA, Xash3D, Minecraft (older java versions), Minetest and perhaps some Wine-specific games like Need for Speed, The Sims (1) and Fallout 1/2.
By the way, is it possible to use Anbox on this lappy?

In general it should work OK.
The only way to know for sure is to just try it.
If you run into issues. Just ask. They can be worked out.
Download the Bionicpup iso.
Install it to something you can boot from.
Boot Bionicpup and see what happens.
If this computer can boot from USB.
Do you know how to install, using an ISO, to make a bootable USB flash drive?
These programs can do it.
UNetbootin to install to USB
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Rufus USB installer
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
There are other installer programs out there.
Note:
That processor is 64bit.
So, it should be able to handle 32bit or 64bit Puppy versions.
If this is a new computer.
Do try one of the newest Puppy versions, that has a newer series 4 Linux kernel. Best chance the kernel supports the new hardware.

I also had similar problems and managed to find a solution.

@ MADC1993:-
In all honesty, there's really only one answer we
can give to this, as with so many other similar questions.
There's literally 1000s of Puppies/'Puplets' out there, though as Mikeslr is wont to point out, probably only 30 or so in regular active use. But even 30, multiplied by the almost infinite number of hardware combinations employed by PC manufacturers, comes to a
huge number.....so large, that there's no way we could possibly give a definitive list of exactly what works with what.
The simplest solution is to try it. Put a Puppy on a USB stick, see if it'll boot, and if it does, take it for a test run and see if you & your computer like it!
Mike.
