What is Peppermint OS?

Peppermint OS is a lightweight Linux distribution based on Lubuntu that integrates cloud and web applications into the desktop. It uses a hybrid concept that allows web and cloud applications to integrate with native desktop apps. The goal is to make transitioning between locally installed software and internet-based applications very simple.

Peppermint OS comes with Firefox, Chromium, and other basic applications preinstalled so it's ready to use out of the box. The desktop environment uses Openbox along with elements of LXDE to be fast and lightweight. System requirements are relatively modest so it can work well on older hardware.

Key features include the ability to pin websites to the desktop or panel to launch like a regular app. It also utilizes cloud storage instead of local disks for file management. Peppermint aims to balance the efficiency and speed of a cloud-focused system with the familiarity of a traditional Linux desktop.

The distribution is based on Ubuntu LTS releases, using the Lubuntu software repositories, so the underlying system is very stable. Peppermint OS incorporates its own tools and modifications on top of this base to provide the hybrid cloud/web/desktop user experience.
