Peppermint Mini: A Lightweight Distro With All The Essentials
|
||||
======
|
||||
A mini edition of Peppermint OS.
|
||||
As one of the [most lightweight and flexible Linux distros][1] around, Peppermint OS has been a good choice for those who want a Linux distro that takes up less space, with the freedom to tweak their experience as they like.
|
||||
|
||||
The recent release of [Peppermint OS][2] features [Debian 12][3] release at its core. It included important improvements that resulted in better performance.
|
||||
|
||||
However, it seems that was not the end of it. The developers have introduced a new variant of Peppermint OS “ **Peppermint Mini** ” that allows for more control over the distro with **a tiny ISO size**.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow me to show you around.
|
||||
|
||||
### Peppermint Mini: What to Expect?
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Peppermint Mini is **an alternative to the fully-fledged Peppermint OS ISOs** that comes in at a very compact **100-180 MB** size. These “Mini” builds use the Debian installer for performing a [net installation][5].
|
||||
|
||||
According to the developer:
|
||||
|
||||
> These builds are intended for that user who really wants to control how their installs are conducted.
|
||||
|
||||
> If you are familiar with the Debian installer you will be right at home here, but with a Peppermint take…
|
||||
|
||||
They have made **32-bit/64-bit builds** in two distinct flavors, **Debian** and **Devuan**.
|
||||
|
||||
The installer follows a familiar approach to what you find on the main Peppermint OS builds, but with **the difference being in the ability to choose things** such as the **desktop environment** , **the init system** , **zonedstorage server** , and more.
|
||||
|
||||
**Interested in a sneak peek?**
|
||||
|
||||
Well, I took the Devuan flavored mini ISO for **a test run** , and I was impressed. Allow me to show you what Peppermint Mini has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
When I started the installation, the usual Language/Region options showed up, after setting that up, the installer started to configure the network automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
It then presented me with mirrors from around the world to download the Devuan archive.
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
I picked the recommended one – 'deb.devuan.org' mirror, so I went with it.
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
The installer began to install the key installer components, it was slightly slow for me. You can try a different mirror of your country to get faster speeds.
|
||||
|
||||
But, that could depend on the routing of your ISP, so I can't blame the servers.
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Post that, I was able to set up the root password, user, and the user password. This was the same as on the conventional build of Peppermint OS.
|
||||
|
||||
After all that, the Partition disks step showed up, I chose the 'Guided' mode, and it took me through allocating spaces without any issues. Again, this was the same as on the usual installer.
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
The base system started installing, and it took its time, but it was done. Though, the 'Debian' variant was faster on this stage when I had tried that out.
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Thereafter, I got the **options to select the software** I wanted on the system. I went with the pre-selected options, as you can see below.
|
||||
|
||||
There were also options for **other desktop environments** such as **Xfce** , **Budgie** , **GNOME** , **MATE** , **LXDE** and **LXQt**.
|
||||
|
||||
I could also opt for **zonedstorage server** , **web server** , and **SSH server** , but I skipped over those.
|
||||
|
||||
![][12]
|
||||
|
||||
As I was installing the Devuan flavor of Peppermint Mini, I got options to choose from three different init systems, **sysvinit** , **openrc** , and **runit**. Whereas, **for Debian** , there was **only systemd**.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, if you do not want systemd, there are other [systemd-free distros][13] as well.
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Read** 📖

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The installation got completed quite smoothly thereafter, and I was able to boot into Peppermint OS without any hiccups.
|
||||
|
||||
![][16]
|
||||
|
||||
**So, wrapping up.**
|
||||
|
||||
Peppermint Mini can be **a viable option if you want more control over your Peppermint OS installation**. Just ensure that your internet connection is up to the job.
|
||||
|
||||
You can go through the [official announcement][17] to know more about it.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 Get Peppermint Mini
|
||||
|
||||
You can get **32-bit** and **64-bit** versions of Peppermint Mini in either **Debian** or **Devuan** flavors. I highly suggest you head over to the [official website][18] and grab the image of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember to scroll down to the “MINI – BUILDS” section to get these.
