I am very proud of my brother in this endeavor.
Wow that’s so cool. I think I installed Peppermint on an old netbook I had laying around. It felt much snappier than when it was running Windows 7 at the time
Building and distributing an OS is no small feat, this is amazing! But also, I couldn’t quite get a sense from the website of why this exists. What purpose does this serve that say, Arch, OpenSUSE, Fedora or PopOS don’t already?
Firstly it’s basically skinned debian so you get a pre-set nice xfce environment with some tweaks and some usability stuff without having to swallow the Ubuntu pill. It also has a devaun based iso which means you can run it without systemd on really old hardware.
This is a direct sibling to something like LMDE or MX Linux.
Practical advantage is that you get the debian base which is completely community driven and don’t have to worry about snaps or whatever else canonical decides to do tomorrow.
