If you are still unfamiliar with Peppermint OS, let me tell you that this is one of those Ubuntu-based distributions, even though, unlike others, this is a distribution that is based on one of the Ubuntu flavors which is Lubuntu.

With this we can begin to give an idea of ​​the approach it has. Peppermint OS is a lightweight Linux distribution, this is based on Mozilla's Prism technology.

Which gives the distribution the ability to integrate web-based applications. In this way Peppermint OS is presented as an alternative to cloud-based systems such as Chrome OS.

This distribution has a hybrid system so to call it, since it allows us to have the integration of web applications in the system, as well as native applications that can be installed on which Linux system.

In this way, the users of the distribution can save a quantity of resources, since the web applications are executed on the server side and only the client (Peppermint OS) is in charge of executing them without spending the resources that this entails.

This Linux distribution has its own tool called Ice, with it basically what it allows you to do is take any website with the help of your favorite web browser and turn it into a web application.
