The Less is More mantra appeals to me, because why would you want to carry unneeded baggage around? I find that when looking at other distros on DistroWatch I blast down through the program lists, comparing them to the sparing use that Peppermint shows, and almost always coming up wanting. Peppermint is leanest, and thus, friendliest with system resources. There are those that want a browser in their initial offering. OK, what should be forced upon us, Chromium? I HATE Chromium. I will only use Firefox or a derivative. What does it take, maybe 90 seconds to install one, anyhow? And if it takes a learning curve to install a browser, well, it's time to learn and burn, there is much more you are going to want to customize your system if you are doing it right. Peppermint is FAST. Yes, I tried some Arch distros, and they are fast, because they are also lean (OK, SOME are...). But Arch and its derivatives, being rolling distros, will leave you with flat out broken, non-bootable systems in the middle of a rainy night. No joke! Is it THAT important to have the latest shiny new programs? For me, NUPE. I know guru programmers who refuse to update AT ALL. To me, Peppermint feels very responsive, probably my biggest checkbox on any computer. Peppermint with XFCE is very easy to customize. Checkbox #2 checked. Reliability is top-knotch with Peppermint. It's simple, less to break. I have run Peppermint distros for YEARS with barely a Bleachbit to keep it optimized and de-cruftified. The Calamares installer is as good as it gets. What would I want changed in Peppermint? I will let you know if I ever think of anything. Was this review helpful?

First tried the Live and for the best of me couldn't find an install icon or menu item, must be somewhere. So, rebooted and found the Calamares installer, worked ok and finally was able to connect with the internet. Something with Live I couldn't. Dark themed and enjoy the bright red colors with black. Doesn't come with a browser installed, but an option in the welcome screen. There is plenty here, but don't understand the "less is more" with the iso coming in at 1.5 Gb and bloated with a lot of probably never use apps. I also tried Xfce, about the same as the Gnome, it's has plenty to offer, could be a nice distro if most of it's contents discarded. Found Peppermint just not right with me, appears as a hastily organized distro, could use a rethink to trim down and make it that fun "less is more" iso. I'm pretty sure the distro can be installed in Live, make the installer icon or menu item a bit more noticeable. Was this review helpful?
