I live with my parents and my family using my computer for stuff like online shopping and banking was a problem for me. We had a really old laptop with Windows installed, but it was too slow for even browsing the web. It used to take more than 5 minutes to boot. I installed Peppermint on it and my father quite liked "this new version of Windows". Also my sister can use it for her homework. Thanks to Peppermint, I don't have to share my computer anymore :) I daily drive Fedora, but Peppermint is one of the distros I love and want the best for.
You should try Linux Lite - needs even less resources than Peppermint and looks very Windows-like
I have looked at many distros and have found MX-Linux to be the most rounded distro out of the box. Like you, I feel it's a bit bloaty but otherwise a great distro. It is now my daily driver. Love your travel videos.
The only thing "bloated" is you. Open synaptic and get rid of what you want gone. It'll take 45 seconds
MX is the Swiss Army knife of distros--not a specialist at anything but pretty good at everything. It also manages to be both interesting and fun to use. MX tools alone can keep a Linux nerd busy for weeks. Fair review and great video as usual.
MX is awesome, but I like the minimal Peppermint. It was my first ever Linux distro. Been using it since it came out. Very stable, quick and I like the Arc red theme. Always been my favorite theme. I used menu editor to make launchers for the Firefox and Thunderbird tar, so that I always have the latest releases.
Shouldn't have to make lauchers. Actually have a way to install a web browser in a straight forward manner instead of a method used by a drunk
I love MX. Haven't tried peppermint yet, but I don't like the look or package manager. I often use AV Linux because I use my system for audio and video production. It has lots of apps for audio and video pre installed so I don't have to go searching for them. 😊
The AV dude does a nice job "melding". I recall it as XFCE with the Openbox as a WM. Been a while
I have both ( Though my MX machine is down at the moment ) I liked the PPM 10 respin better as far as looks etc., but after a week of using PPM11 and changing some things I'm as happy with it as I was with 10 and MX.
For me absolutely MX, although it is a bit bloated perhaps. Secret contender: SparkyLinux, which is based on Debian (either stable or testing) and has its own software store that can certainly match MX's.
I prefer peppermint i find to much bloatware can be confusing to a new user,but iv being using linux for along time i like the direction peppermint as gone scrapping ubuntu.But i understand to that you need a little knowlege to use peppermint.
Awesome Beard Tom !! Also MX and Antix are my #'s 1&2 but definitely gonna try Peppermint
I have been using MX for years now :-) Trouble free and gets the job done out of the box..:-) Also they have teamed up with AVL MXE 2020 2 years that one has been going for audio production and it is fantastic for those who want audio production...BE Well...:-)
MX by far... I tried both- Peppermint is ok- but feels not quite right for me.. and at first I hated MX - too complicated- kept screwing it up-- but now I've learned how to use it and LOVE It- especially the SNAPSHOT.. have MY system on usb and can put it on anything and it's just like working on mine now.. DEBIAN stablity- speed, and it's NOt that heavy on resources considered all that's in it.. and the KDE gives me unlimited customizability now that I know how to use it!!!! Oh- and I didn't abaondon Ubuntu-- they abandoned US.. traitors.. ha. (kidding sort of).. but I don't want any ubuntrash in or on anything any more.
is more important to get off of Ubuntu dependence so taking a slight step back on some things is okay
If you decide to start making more videos in this series again, can you do Linux Mint vs. Kubuntu? I'm deciding on which Linux distribution to install and both of these are my main options.
As much as I HATE command line stuff---- I just install my flatpak through the command line- and they worked GREAT that way!!!! I couldn't get the button thingy going so well either.. BUT- they have a NEW version just came out.. a couple weeks ago.. Suppose to have those things fixed.
I've moved from MX Linux. The thing that really swung me was Snapshot. I keep a complete ISO of my system, including Virtual Machines, saved to a bootable USB. There's a peace of mind knowing I can completely recover my system in a one step process.
I LOVE MX-- and I had KDE as MINE... well, right now Peppermint- but I have MY OWN custom ISO of MX that I can have installed in 5 minutes- pre-configured and ready to go. As I said- is there any way to use snapshot/live usb creator from this ON OTHER distros to make usbs of OTHER distros once I get them set the way I like??
I use MX Linux 19.4 on one of my laptops. None of my laptops are newer than 10 years old I would say so there are even a couple 32 bit machines I keep active, why not. I never used Peppermint but may give it a go down the road, I won’t use anything based on Ubuntu anymore and enjoy LMDE 5 so Peppermint is a strong possibility now that it is releasing Debian based versions. Great job Tom, thanks for the run throughs!
A lot of people are fleeing the Ubuntu ship, but I think Kubuntu and Pop OS are still very good.
You are RIGHT- it's NOT that "newbie" friendly-- I tried it as a newbie and got SO confused.... I let it go- now that I've done this stuff for a while- I LOVE this-- I'm running on Peppermint right now- just reloaded and configured it. I have MX and more--- on a VENTOY-- about 20 total- and can switch back and forth as I like. I wish I could figure out a way to use SNAPSHOT from MX along with the LIVE USB Creator on a USB to serve as tools to make ISOs for OHTER distros--- is there a way to do that??
WEll from this and experience on the NEW version of Peppermint-- it's STILL no contest for me-- I'm sticking with my MX-- love this--no matter what i have tried-- including Fedora and all the crap that was suppose to be so good-- this is MUCH MUCH BETTER..
Peppermint shows the value of LMDE. By the time Peppermint gets a polished Debian version they may lose their easy to use reputation while LMDE is already polished.
The sun will burn out before they make a usable distro. They took Debian Xfce and made it worse. MX Linux makes Peppermint OS a illegitimate red-headed step child
I did not really looking to Howard’s maintained get all went Mooradian or whatever right I don’t really know how that works I mean I used to run something similar on a windows system but I got updates regular daily updates
I am an linux mint user. Liked linux mint xfce. Tried MX linux its blooted as hell and I was getting lots of ads in stock Mozilla browser. I quit it and camed back to mint xfce. I am looking to try Pepper mint but don't know anything about it. Should I choose pepper mint over linux mint xfce.
I mean after installing them which I didn’t want to do I didn’t want all that extra bloat if I could get what I want out of the repository that came with which I can’t think what it’s called but darn so I never tried those I didn’t realize they were just links to a website
Ricardo locate in on install things swear synaptic package manager here but then you’re looking for is in the repositories it’s really easy to search for it and install it it’s just not immediately obvious how to do that once you know how to do it it’s really easy to use but conversely if you’re trying to get rid of software you don’t want Thankfully they don’t install a bunch of peloton because it is not easy I mean it with every library everything it doesn’t list for high-level software package at least from all separately from what I saw so taking out why do you wanna remove and removing it is difficult easier just go to the command line
I think I'd go flatpak and get UNGOOGLED Chromium (no google crap AT AL) and maybe Brave/Firefox.. It's ok- but I have come to really LOVE my MX-- I have my own ISO of that-- and have used it a few times when playing around wtih other distros caused losses.. :) (Mostly operator problems!! :)
Well I never even tried flat back door or no my iPad I assume those were just going to open up a vampire software center or the gnome software center
I think peppermint will improve over the coming years.
i hope so because it looks amazing
I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting to choose your web browser instead of it just assuming firefox. i dont want to have to purge wokefox from my system if i dont want it, garuda also has you choose your web browser instead of including one. love it
MX Any day of the week...
I’m never mind it’s not an ad blocker headphones or host locker use the hose Fallon blocks like I don’t know 40,000 I don’t know what the number was but it was tens of thousands of bar house where you don’t want to go to or that have ants being served out from them I don’t think it just adds blocking I think it’s blocking band websites as well as and websites
Peppermint 🤘
I've tried both of these recently, and honestly I'm not really fan of either.
If I need a 64bit Debian based OS, it's gonna be Linux Mint DE, and if it's 32 bit, then it's Q4OS Trinity.
lmde was my first distro and it was amazing.
Why not pure Debian and the desktop environment you like best?
@@jeffkelly5972 Because I don't like to spend my day configuring my distro, I want to install it, update it, do a few minor tweaks, setup my printer, be done within sight of an hour, and get my work done!!
@@CommodoreFan64 It is Debian not Gentoo. It never took me that long to tweak but no matter which distro you use it is still Linux and always the right choice.
@@CommodoreFan64 If you choose a desktop environment like xfce when installing, you are almost done. This is not Arch or Gentoo.
Stuck at 73% installing Peppermint OS in my Virtual Box. I guess I'll try MX.
I recall that happening to me on a slower computer. It turns out that it may be something with Ubuntu on slower computers as I have seen that same behavior in updates on Ubuntu based distros.
@@SwitchedtoLinux well, I intended to install this on my Ideapad S110. So, I guess I'm going for Debian Xfce or MX Linux.
I like your beard. It is very thick.
MX Linux AHS is more rounded.
MX Linux Cinnamon version might be interesting!
No. That would be STUPID. The MX team will recommend LMDE for Cinnamon and Clem-mint will tell you go get MX for XFCE. Those teams are tight and carry respect for one another....in a big way. Rightfully so.
is there a linux terms dictionary? you're talking a whole different language...
Ride or are you good simply install Chromeo home and do it negatively through the browser and not use that confusing fucked up five tool I mean I was not impressed revise it took me forever to get proper icons and now it does have been a side effect of putting the ramp or that you create in the menus in the appropriate spot which seems like I figured out how to do that with a chromium created Charcott but it’s not as easy
MX wins here, Peppermint isn't for beginners anymore, and kind of looks "flat" 😲
The two wins for me now that Peppermint has a non systemd spin.
Peppermint 10 is way better more user friendly than Peppermint OS 11
Indeed they have at a stroke lost a lot of non-expert users like me.
mx linux seems to be bit bloated but u can remove the bloats
Peppermint and Lubuntu.
Actually , I'm starting to get TIRED of ALL OF THEM.... and will only use my computer- when I need to work on something. The "fun" of distrohopping is gone.. :)
If something isn't broken don't try to fix it. P10 and previous releases were ideal for non-experts this version isn't.
