The Peppermint OS Developers They have published in your Google+ account that a preliminary version of peppermint 7. If you do not know this operating system, say that it is a distribution with a good design and light that is based on Ubuntu. The current version is Peppermint 6 and is based on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, the latest Long Term Support version of the operating system developed by Canonical. From the looks of it, they plan to make the leap to the latest LTS version this summer.
Like other Ubuntu-based distros like Elementary OS, Peppermint is a distro that tries to upgrade from LTS version to LTS version. Logically, this has its positive side, as they will be versions that will enjoy official support for several years, but as a counterpart we have that they will not be compatible with some applications that may be launched during the two years that pass between LTS versions (which is why I left Elementary and went back to the standard version of Ubuntu).
Peppermint 7 will be based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
The next day 30 a preview version will be available from Pippermint 7. Now mimo is testing the beta version, but this version is only available for a private group. What we would have expected, considering that it is an open source project, is that the beta was public, but they probably do not want users outside their circle to see some bugs present in the operating system. In any case, we are 10 days away from the release of the preview version that was announced yesterday, so the wait will not be too long.
If you are going to update, keep in mind that Peppermint 6 cannot be climbed to Peppermint 7 without removing the old installation. On the other hand, if you plan to install it for the first time, keep in mind that it is only available for 64-bit UEFI computers.
June 3 has passed. I guess it will be for the year.
A zero, which had fallen 😉
A greeting.
