Habe viele Distros ausprobiert aber bei Peppermint OS hängen geblieben. Es läuft auf zwei alten schwachen PC's mit AMD 9 plus einem alten Netbook mit AMD C-50 Prozessor sowie auf einem Laptop mit Intel i5 Prozessor der ersten Generation Problemlos. Habe es auch bei Kollegen die keine Ahnung von Computer und Software haben installiert, die sind alle glücklich damit wie ich auch. Werde garantiert nicht mehr wechseln weil hier funktioniert einfach alles ohne grosse Anpassungen. Meinen Dank an die Macher von Peppermint für dieses grossartige OS.

have used several versions of this os - always had a positive experience on a variety of laptops of vary ages and abilities. The desktop presentation is attractive (a mixture I think of xfce & lxde) and very responsive to commands. It is easy for newcomers, with a vibrant and welcoming forum community. Been running various versions now for several years and the issues have been few and all resolvable. Yes you may have to install an office suite etc - but the process is simple to do via the software centre. An ideal os for low spec and high spec machines. Would recommend to users old and new.

I was working on replacing the windows os on my older laptop(HP G72). Naturally I chose Linux. After trying out several distros over the course of 3 days, I happened upon Peppermint Linux. It runs really well on this laptop.
Everything works and all the software I need is readily available.
Life is good.

Peppermint 8 was awesome for a small and slow old computer like a netbook. Unfortunately Peppermint 9 is not. The very slow Linux Mint Software manager, which is now being used, is buggy when asking to many tasks at once. This Software manager is also user unfriendly. A package must first be opened to find the Install button. The Meta packages are difficult to find as the Featured category, which is in the Peppermint 8 Software manager, does no longer exist in the Linux Mint software manager used by Peppermint 9. These Peppermint 9 Meta packages can also not be installed due to an unknown error. Windows are too big for small screens. The standard theme is very dark and flat. MX Linux e.g. is much better and faster.

Very much underrated distro...
I have been using Linux for years now and I think I have a say on different distros.
So I believe Peppermint OS is an excellent operating system: it’s fast, lightweight, customizable…
If you’re a newcomer to Linux, Pepp OS is ready to go, you don’t really have to do anything, apart from installing apps that you find necessary for your work-flow.
If you’re an experienced user, you’ll find it to be a perfect blend of LXDE, XFCE lightweight desktop environments, mixed with Cinnamon’s Nemo file browser and Linux Mint’s updater.
Whats more, version 9 brings in both Ubuntu’s Software and Linux Mint’s Software manager, which means you have both Snap and Flatpak support out of the box.
You have customization options by default, but if you don’t like it – as with any other Ubuntu based distribution – you can easily customize it by yourself according to your heart’s content.
I’m currently using Peppermint OS 9 Respin on my main PC, Peppermint OS 9 on my HP notebook 240 g5, and Peppermint 8 Respin on my Lenovo Z51 laptop.
I think my distrohopping days are over… I have tried and used Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Linux Mint, but I think Peppermint is head and shoulders above the rest.

Having tried and used Peppermint versions 6, 7, 8 and 9, the XFCE and LXDE works really well but, have noticed that since version 7 respin, that things are, shall we say, slowing on older devices;
x64 Core2Duo with 3Gb Ram and 60Gb SSD. (meltdown/ spectre issues aside)
Version 9 Respin:
Aesthetics: 6/10 Default iconsets are childlike and dull, dark/ light themes are good, artwork ok.
Usability: 7/10 slows with higher versions (on same hardware from v7 respin 9/10)
Integrated Tools: 7/10 for necessary tools only, there are others out there.
Nice to see they got rid of buggy VLC.
Good active support team via forums (has always been)
Sadly, like most good distro's there is always a time to change so, another distro-hopping exercise for 2019 is on the cards.

I was looking for a very light Operating System to replace Windows XP on my twelve year old PC. I tried a few Linux distros (Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, etc.) pretty good but heavy. Peppermint is similar to Manjaro XFCE and MX, why this distro is not more popular, I do not know? It works without any adjustment and for those who are starting out with Linux or those that just want to keep old machines going it is absolutely perfect. That does not mean those who are seeking a full service Linux wont enjoy it. They will. Using version 8 and it is well laid out, all functions are easy to find and update manager and software managers are great. If are trying different distros and becoming disillusioned with non-functioning drivers or Ram eating systems Peppermint will be different. Very fast on a old machines. If you need a light very fast system - Peppermint just works!

Really neato ! (Except for a few deal breakers for me :/ )
Notable points:
-The OS is VERY smooth and fast even on old hardware ! (HP DC7800SFF)
-ICE , the OS' way of fancily handling web apps, proved to be surprisingly useful !
-If Linux Mint and Lubuntu had a baby (a beautiful one at that) this would be the result.
-Amazing wallpapers.
-Based on long term support releases (LTS) of ubuntu which results in stability.
Personal deal breakers:
-Is based on LTS, yes I just said that having LTS is an advantage, but for me, I can't stand the "outdated" nature of LTS releases (old kernel , applications , etc)
-Some hardware was not supported eg (Dualshock 4 v2, broadcom bcm43224)

The initial release of Peppermint 9, for me, had no wifi networking. I stayed with Peppermint 8 which, even on the Live CD, detected my Broadcom card. This latest release of Peppermint 9 DOES have networking, wifi, and I was able to connect to the Net. (Target machine is a decade old Acer 5517 laptop.)
The CD drive is slow, so I cannot judge the speeds at which apps will load from the HD, but I am certain they will compare to Peppermint 8.
Desktop background, as always, is well done and stylish.
The biggest surprise was under the Office option in Menu: the selections for the on-line version of MS Office products. Somewhat frightening.
Must confess: have NOT installed it yet on the laptop. Just tried out the LiveCD.

Nice looking distro. Quicker than Linux Mint. Unfortunately some windows, e.g. used during installation and used by the Linux Mint Software Manager, are to big for the 1024x600 screen of my HP Mini Netbook.
I have to shift the windows, pressing the Alt-key, because the controls are below the edge of the screen and the windows cannot be resized.
Otherwise the 32-bit version would be fine. Therefor i still use Peppermint OS version 8 or MX Linux which are both better usable on a small screen. Xubuntu 18.04 32-bit is also good.

The best feature light distro i tried, the crossover between LXDE and XFCE is perfect, everything worked out of the box like a dream, i choose the full encrypt option.
I'm using a old Aspire One 722 and everything is fast in peppermintos.
The same computer make other distros like Manjaro, openSUSE, Ubuntu Gnome, very slow.
I tried the antix distro but Peppermint is much more friendly and easy to use.
Just try for yourself.

This is the 3rd time in the past year I've tried to install and use Peppermint. The first two times it would either not load the live DVD or would not install. This time it installed just fine in 20 min. But when I tried to install the MATE desktop it bombed because of missing repositories and unmet dependencies. ANY distro based on Debian/Ubuntu should have the capability of installing any available desktop without a hitch. Peppermint failed in this.

A truly under-estimated distribution. Does everything you need and more. The only flaw I found so far, is that flatpak installations do not work well with external drives, for example, when using gimp after installing via the Ubuntu Snap Store, all is find until you try to access a flash drive. You need to give the program permissions.
I would prefer Pluma instead of Xed, but maybe that's me nit-picking a little,
The Peppermint OS forum is a must if you are stuck or in need of advice. Maybe you simply want to show off your desktop.

Its one of the best , fastest and stable distros out there.
I can't understand why it isn't more popular.
Boot time on a 6yr old Lenovo laptop (which I still use) with 8GB RAM and an SSD is 7 seconds.
Everything just works.
Very stable , and looks great.
Super easy to use.
Many useful apps already installed and easy to install whatever else you may need.
It was my main Linux OS , and I NEVER had a problem until I started using 4k monitors.
Then I (like everyone else with Linux and 4k) started having problems.
Not easy to configure for 4k , and then , only partially works.
From what I can find and with my own personal experience , if you're using 4k resolution ,
you'll want to use , Cinnamon , KDE Plasma , Gnome 3 , Pantheon , or Deepin.
That was a bummer.
Such a great OS though.
I highly recommend it (unless you use 4k).

I was looking for a very light Operating System to replace Windows on various old PC's. I tried a few Linux distros - Ubuntu - pretty good but heavy, Mint - seemed not to like wi-fi, Opensuse and Sparky very buggy for me. Eventually came across Peppermint. Why this distro is not more popular I do not know? It works without any adjustment and for those who are starting out with Linux or those that just want to keep old machines going it is absolutely perfect. That does not mean those who are seeking a full service Linux wont enjoy it. They will.

Very fast on a old or small machines eg. N140 notebook with Atom chip - feels very fast. Designers and team at Peppermint (based in the UK?) have done a great job. I will now be using it on all my machines. Ubuntu and Mint have been left behind. If you need a light very fast system - Pepermint just works!

I've been using Ubuntu as my primary OS for a decade. I installed Peppermint 8 on an older Laptop that I only use when I travel.
I was growing tired of waiting for IMAP to sync a month of data in Thunderbird in Ubuntu. The the Site Specific Browser feature with email give me the speed of webmail with the convenience of an app.
I was able to install SNAPs, Linux Containers and Stockfish without any issues, so it also works well with other software from the repositories.
Give it a spin. I think you'll like it.

I installed it within Virtual Box to see what it is , Mint I did before but PM not.
Initially the screen on boot in the VB was not stalbe, you have to activate 3D accelleration in the VB. Then it runs ok.
Installing: no problem.
Want to add Opera, installling not from PM itself, you have to install it manually and the last queston was that you may add it to package installer.
First impression opera: not very stable, which is a big minus... as it is so handy,
Mart test and direct search or copy...
VPN onboard, usefull for simple things. (I have my own VPN for mobiel in a professioanl way..)
It is fast... and under Windows extremely stable.
The PM look: it looks structed and reconizable with people that came from XP. I can work with old and new.
Hardware recognition: 1st impression Ok.
The verdict:
For starting users: 9
For experienced users: 6
I'm belonging to the last group, so on total a 6...

I bought my father a new computer to replace his Windows XP, Intel Pentium 4, 2.4Ghz dinosaur with with 2 Gbs of RAM (I added an extra GB) and firmware dating back originally to 2003.
I thought there was no hope for this rig. It only has a CD-ROM and it took me sometime to figure out how to install from USB. I went through many tries (and fails) including Bodhi, Antix, WattOS and quite a few others.
I thought Porteus was great but it was SO complicated!
Then.. PEPPERMINT!!
I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it feels to have an OS that allows me to play video out of the box on a set up this old.. NONE of the others allowed for that.
My crowning joy was realising that I had 12 tabs open in Chromium, as well as the software manager and terminal.. WITH NO NOTICEABLE LAG! Only reason I noticed was because I suddenly remembered that there SHOULD be lag on a PC this old!
NOTE: I did try Peppermint 9 and unfortunately it was NOT as smooth and lite as 8. However, I can live with being a version behind if I gain a usable computer out of it.

>>your days of linux hopping are over once..
Yep. I'm giving an 8 for my internal reason. I'm using version 8 on an amd x64 desktop, and plan to put version 9 on on a similar A4 machine at work. For web-application based tasks this is very, very well suited OS.
I really liked how it installed into my system, and live of 9 that I tried today on newer PC only proved my suspicion that the worke have had been doneupon it, and a thoughtful one. runs even smoother.
Really. I think my debian-based would be peppermint. And I like the name and graphics too. Thank you guys!

Peppermint OS 9 Review – Chrome OS Alternative by quidsup. Maybe I Dont have it altogether and I havent used Peppermint but Peppermint OS 9 would allow you to take an older system and configure the ICE icons for a child to get online to websites that are age-appropriate of course. Im not advocating it but like for a 3 year old to go to a site to practice their ABCs or Numbers with only having to click an icon or for a school district to purchase low end computers and use them similar to chrome books.

The option of selecting difference kernels is a major plus.
Very fast distro.
The Peppermint Settings section is comprehensive.

Very fast full-featured system with minimal CPU usage. Graphical shell - hybrid XFCE+LXDE. I used to have Linux mint 17.1 cinnamon-almost no problems. However, I tried Peppermint and was pleasantly surprised-speed, stability, functionality, max customization options(including ice), friendly Peppermint community, all on top. I sit on it for more than a year and do not get enough. I think in the Linux community this system is STILL clearly undervalued.

A stable distribution with an Ubuntu base, very lightweight - more than Xubuntu or even Debian with Xfce, as the desktop is a hybrid that uses components from LXDE and Xfce.
It has the benefits of Linux Mint, but it is faster. The community forum is excellent.
I have been using it for some years now and never had any issues.
There seems to be a misunderstanding that Peppermint is a cloud based distribution. You get a stable base and can install software just like in Ubuntu. Unfortunately, a lot of reviews keep bringing up this cloud centric image. Using web apps with Ice is just another option. I am only using it to display the weather forecast. This misunderstanding is probably the main reason that not more people are using Peppermint. Some people complain that LibreOffice is not installed by default. Just install it, then!

Step by step in a few words. Installation: easy, thanks to the Ubuntu base. Boot: fast. Desktop: a good hybrid of powerful apps, intuitive, huge Ubuntu repos; you want - you get. Performance: stable and very, very snappy. Customization: no problem. Highly recommended, therefore 10/10. Due to its streamlined character especially for low end hardware this is a "spicier" version of Mint - it is Peppermint (to quote the developers).

I have tried many distros and I am a gamer (CS:GO)
This is the first distro that after installation of Nvidia drivers understand that my monitor is 144Hz.
Also my fps in the game is better than ever.
I think that is a great advantage of just have one desktop and just 32/64-bit edition.
Just easier to maintain and focus is always there.
Just one warning.... When you install Peppermint it can destroy your curiosity for other distros.
You have just fount THE distro that need.

Peppermint 9 is a beautiful looking minimal Ubuntu 18.04 LTS based distro. Some serious spit and polish has gone into making this disto gorgeous. True to the Linux and Open source philosophy, the devs at Peppermint have used the modular nature of Linux. They've brought together a unique hybrid DE that simply works. The Ice SSB creator tool add Cloud functionality for those that want to use it. I find this tool so useful. The possibilities with it are endless.
You won't find much in the way of user software. Peppermint's philosophy is not to impose another person's choices onto the user. It's up to the individual to choose how they want their distro to look and work. However the Peppermint devs have provided a plethora of tools for the user to easily create a distro that's very personal; something that suits their tastes, needs and style. Everything in the Ubuntu repos is available. They've even included the GNOME Software Manager for those who want to mess with Snaps and Flatpaks. These are not for me, it's very cool the ability to install them is there though.
Peppermint is a vanilla distro, that's lightweight, super quick, dead easy to use, drop dead gorgeous and works OOTB. What more do you want? Well a friendly Community Forum would be nice. One that treats everyone equally and provides easy to follow working solutions, irrespective of the user's skill level. With Peppermint 9, you get that on top of the already awesome distro. The whole setup is very impressive. The best way to make an assessment though, is to download it and check it out for yourself.

On the other hand to have "Firefox" corresponding to your own language, it will install by "Snap" via "Software".
To install his printer, you will download the software (deb version) on the manufacturer's website and use "Terminal" ... and any non-free writing software or character .... like Mint or Ubuntu.

I gave Peppermint 9 a try as there's been a lot of hype about it on the boards.
Well, it's okay, but nothing special, it's a mish-mash of all manner of DE's, a bit of LXDE, Xfce, Mate, Cinnamon and Gnome, and also seems to have used a few MX tweaks too.
It's no lighter on resources than Xfce on top of Debian or Ubuntu.
Pros: LTS until 2023 via 18.04
New Linux user friendly, works OOB
Still supports x86 32bit machines
Cons: Looks like a dogs dinner
No offline Office suite on local machine without installing yourself (not even AbiWord and Gnumeric)
UFW should be on by default on distros aimed at tempting people away from MS

Peppermint 8 worked OOTB, as it were, with the Broadcom card in my Acer 5517 laptop, even the LiveCD. I just downloaded Peppermint 9 but it will not locate any networks. I tried toggling "Enable Networking" but that did not work.
Seems like it recognizes all the other hardware, but I'm not too sure how to proceed. I may need to keep P8 on here a little longer. (Heck, I have only had P8 for 2 months, ha!)

When I saw that there was a new version I got excited. Premature! There was no way could I get this new version to run Photoshop Elements 2. So, completely useless (for me).

I have been using various Linux distributions for the last 8 years now, my first experience with Peppermint was in 2015 I think it was version 6 I thought it was nice but was not entirely convinced. I also used 7 for a short period of time, Version 8 has been on my older computer since it was released, my only grievance was after running a Nmap scan I found certain ports open out of the box, that I prefer closed i.e., 139/ tcp open netbios-ssn and 445/tcp open microsoft-ds. I don't know if this is the case in version 9 but if the Peppermint team were to address this issue and lock the OS down a bit more (Security!) then I probably wouldn't use anything else.

I installed Pepperment 8 the first day and it seemed to work better than windows 10 pro...however, the 2nd day, during routine operations, the shortcuts I had placed on the desktop would not open, even after a reboot...so, I went to the program files (x86 as well) where the main files are and lo and behold, the icons would not execute/open as well and, yes, I was/am disappointed, as I was really hoping to keep Pepperment as my main OS. So, reluctantly, I re-installed Windows 10 Pro...but, if in the future, that problem gets fixed, man, I'm a gonna git that thar OS...:)))...by the way, the 'live' part of the OS works great!

I've been using this distro since version 7 and for me it's great. Indeed, if you have a not so recent machine Peppermint 8 will be the choice: faster than Lubuntu and more polished, with whiskermenu (from XFCE desktop; in fact, this is a hybrid distro), low ram usage (less than Trisquel 8 Mate, less than Linux Mint Xfce no matter is we talk about 18.3 or 19 Beta, less than Linux Lite, less than Lxle) and yet beatiful. The responsiveness is undoubtly effetive. It is my choyce. It sould be more cherished by the community and reviewers and more supported by users. I am waiting for version 9.

I tried out many different distros when I switched from "the dark side" about 4 years ago. Being new to Linux and not knowing much about it, Peppermint was the only one that installed on everything I tried without a problem (i.e. detected all hardware such as different wireless cards) and was ready to go out of the box. I like the theme as it is and it just works. Never had a crash or system freeze. I still look at other distros out of interest but still haven't found anything that I would switch to.
Peppermint rocks :)

Great distro. Fast, stable, and great looking desktop. I have been using for 2 years now and it has never let me down.
Very lightweight but doesn't compromise on looks and out of the box usability.
Cannot wait for Peppermint 9!

Lightening fast and super easy to use. Love the way it comes with Chrome. Software installing is a breeze and so are updates.
Works really nicely on my old laptop.
Very quick installation and goes straight out of the box.

My laptop exhibited problems with the first 2 attempts to install: CD drive activity stopped; and n/w connection was lost. These are MY issues, not Peppermint's.
The 3rd attempt was successful. I do like the installer but I didn't need the slide show. Peppermint 8 works "out of the box" with the Broadcom card, something few distros have done. It boots up and shuts down much faster than UbuntuGNOME. Applications start a little faster but not by much. The desktop background is SUPER crisp and clear.
Peppermint 8 gives me the flexibility to keep the Acer laptop for a few more years. BTW, the old Peppermint Ice version had been installed on it some time ago, but was replaced with the short lived REMEDE Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 with EDE Desktop.)
Peppermint 5 is on my main desktop PC, and will be so until 2019. A Peppermint will replace it.....I hope.

pros: just works really well. stupid fast. even just running from the live usb it's very simplistic but offers a lot of customization which isn't that overwhelming.
cons: I haven't found any cons yet.
overall: for most users i'd recommend this Linux build before trying the others out !

Very nicely laid out. Very fast and light on resources.
The only issue that I have with this (as with most Linux distros) is that the wifi needs to be reset after most updates or the signal is very weak. I can't figure out why there is no one who can write a fix for this....it would help most any Linux distro.
Aside from that, Peppermint and Mint are my 2 favorite distros....and I've tested dozens in the past year.

Beautiful distro. Almost as light as Lubuntu, but much finer aesthetically. Lighter than Xubuntu and Mint Xfce. Doesn't come with a ton of pre-installed software I don't need. Very stable. Very easy to use out of the box. Everything is just right: there's simply not much need customization. The developers took the best parts of other distros and combined them in one of the most solid, fast, intuitive and polished distros I've tested, and I've tested around 20. Did I say beautiful? (Lubuntu and Peppermint are my favorite distros, the latter being the complete distro for me. I use Lubuntu on machines with weaker CPU.)

Very interesting OS, fast, stable and stylish with some smart ideas to make it really easy for everyone. Excellent. It must be said that Ubuntu's/Lubuntu's first class base with top solid XFCE and LXDE components make it.
As someone mentioned there is no upgrade possibility for the user to upgrade a pOS7 system to a pOS8 one, so the user has hard times to withstand all the nice changes offered by every release.
Possible CON (?): Installed it on three machines. Two installations went smooth, one had a strange issue with grub - repeat with updates during installation (Ubiquity offers this) and everything went fine.

Installed Peppermint 7 (32 bit) on my old HP desktop that came with Windows 7 on it. I've played around with other distros on this machine and had good luck with them all except Debian. It was a toss up between Ubuntu Mate 16.04, Fedora 27, Antix 17, Korora 26 and Linux Mint 18...all of these 64 bit.
I choose Peppermint 7 because it ran just as fast if not faster, its a lot more lightweight,..except for Antix17 and it is easier to navigate in than the for mentioned Antix 17.
pros... runs fast and is lightweight, very stylish, based on Ubuntu so its not a headache to use,
Pro... Already has a USB writer and formatter installed.
Pro... Easy to customise to you taste.
CON... Cant upgrade to a new release without a new install.
Hope the Peppermint team will change the upgrade policy on its next release...

Installed without issue and runs nicely on a 4 year old HP Stream Laptop, which had become totally unusable trying to run Windows 10.
It has only 2Gb of RAM along with 32GB of slow storage pushed along by an Intel Celeron N2840 processor.
Delighted by the pain free experience !

As close to a perfect lightweight unofficial spin of Ubuntu as there is! My first go to in the Ubuntu family everytime. Have had it running happily on my daily laptop as the single stand-alone OS for over a year to date with zero major issues. Suits my needs perfectly. It probably won't suit everyone out there, but if you want a Ubuntu/deb based distro that is using an Xfce/lxde(hybrid) based desktop, is easy on older hardware without sacrificing functionality, then this is definitely worth looking at! Currently on version 7 still and it's been so great I haven't seen a reason to upgrade to 8. Waiting for them to release a version based on the upcoming 18.04 base once its available before I trouble with a full upgrade. In the meantime I will just continue enjoying this excellent release. Cheers! :)

This is the first Linux distribution that I have installed on a home PC without having a Windows dual boot option; and I have never missed Windows. Peppermint is fast, stable and attractive. ICE was a big reason I chose P-Mint. Treating certain websites like standalone apps is more convenient than it sounds.

We were in need of a lightweight OS that was both non-intrusive and unbloated. Enter pOS. On a laptop manufactured in 2008 (Acer Aspire), it runs fast in spite of the fact that a live USB is used. Common thoughts are that live usage is slower than a proper install, however, daily runs only include the occasional video, lots of internet browsing (mostly news reading) and many hours of flash gaming (mahjongg & FB games).
The only components I removed were the Dropbox handle and the default IceSSBs (gmail, drive etc). I still kept Ice.
Because I did not use persistence, the laptop is kept constantly switched on and OS is naturally never updated.
The elder at home is pleased with this new system. They have been through Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu and Linux Mint. The latter two are great for my use case but not for theirs, hence, I opted for a live USB with pOS8 installed.
The only minimal hiccup is the fact that the brightness bar does not work and am therefore stuck with a laptop at full brightness, however, the room is adequately lit and therefore this is of no concern. Should the users report inability to sleep (since most usage is at night) then I might install Twilight or f.lux Linux.
All in all, this is the OS I recommend for older laptops which use is limited to Internet.

A great and wonderful distro. I really love it. So far, I haven't discovered any major bugs. The only thing is that some features only appears in English, but not in my native language (even when I have selected my language as default language). Guys, this shouldn't happen! Not everyone out there is an native English speaker, nor fluent in English.
But, I generally must say that Peppermint OS really is doing a great & good job. Really, it's a great & excellent distro and I only can recommend it.

Easy to install. Easy to update. Easy on the eyes. Easy to match with windows uses.
Over all a great experience. Replaced Windows 10 without missing a beat. It does all I ask for.
No cons that I can see.
Thank You!

- Very Fast
- Stable
- Ubuntu based (Lots of tools available)
- Great Customization support
CON:
- HiDPi support (Honestly I didn't find anything actually working in Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Manjaro, MX Linux, Antergos, Deepin, Elementary OS either. Everyone just end up recommending Font Scaling)

One of my favorite distros! I'm a big fan of LXDE and the mixture of very similar XFCE components along with some Mint programs makes this very easy to adjust the settings to your liking. I've never had any serious issues running Peppermint, and it works great for running most basic desktop tasks, including playing video or running games either via Steam or native.

It's beautiful, works out of the box, has sensible software choices, including the SSB technology, which makes it a fully online system, such as ChromeOs but better because you can install software locally from the huge Ubuntu repositories. Xubuntu & Lubuntu are plain ugly right out of the box and are light years away from Peppermint's "just install and use" perfection. With Xubuntu or Lubuntu I have to spend hours installing software, tewaking and making them look good. I pay much attention to the Design of the operative system and this one is easily one of the top five out there, only rivaled in the Ubuntu based family by Linux Mint itself. A winner in every front. Hope it continues on the path of each release being better than the previous one. Kudos for the Dev team.
