Been using MX Linux for a long time
Tried Peppermint and it's so fast and stable. Amazing distro.

Appreciate your enthusiasm sir. Thanks for the positive review.

Nice work Jack. It is a very clean, and stable looking distro. I think I heard somewhere that if you load a flatpak app (from flathub or the command line - not sure), that it will then side-load flatpak support; and then the App Center is expanded to to include the display of Flatpak apps (and app searches), and then you can load them directly from the app center. I don't know if that is true. But thoroughly agree, that if this is the case then its 'perdy dumb' to have a system that is designed to support flatpak apps, but it does directly include those apps right from the beginning. I think I would just go with your suggestion to load synaptic and gnome-software-center and probably then would never use the Elementary App store again after that. It looks like Elementary OS v7 is in development... so would be interesting to see what that looks like when it lands. For now I think I will stick a little longer with Garuda KDE Dragonised. Thanks again. Double Thumbs - Yuuulk Yuulllk!

All this is to me is Debian Xfce with a little themeing, no web browser and harder to use with conflicting repositories. It serves no purpose.

It looks to be useful for an existing Linux user, but not for a brand newbie. A new convert wants to see installed software he can use right away, not "packages" he's never heard of and has no clue if they'd work for him. You never covered Office apps, for example, so I don't know if any come with PMint, but I doubt it.

I was having the same issue after downloading the themes and wallpapers, I’ll give it a few minutes to populate thanks I thought it was just me.

How about doing the difference between MX Linux and Peppermint OS. I feel Peppermint OS 11 is late coming because I can't see why I would use it rather then MX Linux.

You'll love Deb 12 Hahaha 🤣 testing is the beta of Deb 12 called book worm 📖 🐛. Zed is unstable because it is the alpha for development. And testing is actually stable hahaha 😂

[mustafababdullah]

Jack it up too book worm. Pun intended 😄 when I upgraded it to book worm nothing broke but the splash for grub was Debian! But is upgraded everything to kernel 5.15... and the associated softwares

Peppermint OS 11 did not like it my wireless drivers did not work. i like Peppermint 10 better

[johnmaletic]

Peppermint has lost all its charm. Contrary to an lxde core based pepper, this is just the 15th in a dozen xfce environment. Not leighter, not faster, no nothing...just plain xfce. Put any debian based xfce next to it and you won't be able to tell a difference. Zero.

The guy on this video is basically talking to people just like himself and certainly not to people like me who have been using Peppermint since version 5 and am currently using Peppermint 10 but have very limited knowledge and no interest in playing computers.

P11 however has changed into a package that requires a lot more knowledge than I have and I found merely irritating as someone who uses a computer only as a means to an end. I suppose it's fun for enthusiasts but sadly after using Peppermint for many years it's goodbye.
