Launched earlier this year on May 28, Peppermint OS 8 is based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system and brought major new features. Now, the Peppermint 8 Respin is here with a bunch of improvements and the latest software releases, including the Nemo 3.4.7 file manager, OpenVPN 2.4.4 VPN implementation, and Linux kernel 4.10.0-40. In addition to the latest updates from upstream, Peppermint 8 Respin introduces new “Pepirus” xfwm4, GTK+, and icon themes, replaces lightdm-gtk-greeter with slick-greeter, improves the i3lock lock screen app, disables GTK+ overlay scrollbars, makes the default terminal window a bit larger, adds mint-translations, and fixes peppermint-proxy-configuration for the 32-bit ISO image.
