But I had to say goodbye to version 2023-07-01 immediately after installation. The installation itself, as always with Peppermint, was absolutely smooth, no problems at all. These started after the first reboot. Constant black screens lasting seconds during operation, without warning, without being able to reproduce them. And always the fear that mails or other things might have disappeared after the display had lit up again. Resource usage is much heavier than what it used to be years ago. With the death of the founder, anything and everything good about Peppermint went down the drain. Even after installing all the updates offered, the spooky behaviour on Peppermint had not disappeared, so I was forced to switch to Linux Mint. No idea where the bug could be.

Did consult Software Manager, note. Would like to have Seamonkey as an occasional alternative to Firefox, especially as Composer is present, for making websites. XFCE is a good choice, very easy to use, and prefer the conventional desktop layout provided. Installed on an i3 Acer, no problems at all. Was this review helpful?

After years of distro hopping with, xubuntu, debian, devian, manjaro, opensuse, etc..., I gave Peppermint a try. I did a fresh install of the 2023-07-01 version, Devuan based, with Runit as my init system. As it only use about 500mb by start, it's very quick and smooth. Moreover it looks very nice with the default themes and icons. Also top is the terminal based update option. For me rely a big 10+++++ , I recommend it to everyone! Was this review helpful?
