PeppermintOS 12 Review: Debian But Better

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 23, 2023

PeppermintOS is a distribution based on Debian, but comes with a better customized Xfce desktop by default and a few nice additions on top of it. It uses a better installer, and offers a few additional helpful scripts after installation to further tweak the OS according to the user’s needs. In that regard, it can be said that it is Debian, but with better defaults.

Still, there are some bugs and issues in the distribution in some places. And the developed tools by the devs are not really “software”; they are just a bunch of scripts to do certain tasks needed by the user inside a terminal. This is a far cry from Linux Mint tools for example, such as their control center or software manager or the +20 other programs developed by their team.

However, it serves its target userbase well. If you want to try Debian with a good-looking Xfce desktop, and don’t want to deal with problems like “Your_username is not in the sudoers file” or waste time adding additional software repositories, then PeppermintOS is for you.
