Puppy Linux is really, really old...I wouldn't use it. If you want something beginner-friendly, try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. If you are a bit more skilled (or willing to learn), try Arch.

 

Does it have an SSD?

A sure way to identify a problem is to try to launch the apps you installed from the terminal to see what error messages you will get. There may be some missing dependencies or similar.

I used it because it was recommended for netbooks by this video:

Simply open the terminal (usually Ctrl + Alt + T or find it on the desktop) and type the name of the program you installed. It should either launch or throw some error message.
