“A new Linux distro is officially hitting its 1.0 release today,
but you’ll have to forgive me for not being too excited. Peppermint
OS is now out, with the aim of being a fast, cloud focused Linux
operating system.“A quick look under the hood reveals that it’s mostly a mashup
of technologies that are available (and I’m already running), with
an Ubuntu base (by way of the Linux Mint Ubuntu derivative) and
leveraging the lightweight LXDE desktop. Ubuntu by default uses
GNOME which is bulkier and consumes a larger resource footprint
than LXDE.”
