Peppermint OS - 2026-01-08

For some odd reason a person asked a question as a review -
I moved that question to here as its more appropriate

Question:

Is it easy to use like zorin os? i'm a Windows user and I want to change and use linux...plz help and reply

Short answer
If you want a Linux distro that feels similar to Windows and is easy to transition to, Zorin OS is generally a better starting point than Peppermint OS. Zorin focuses on Windows-like usability and includes a GUI that’s comfortable for Windows users. Peppermint tends to be more “build your own” and light-weight, with a more traditional Linux desktop approach.

Think of it this way
Zorin OS

  • Designed for switchers from Windows.
  • Provides Windows-like desktop layouts and familiar settings.
  • Helpful guided steps for migration, and lots of beginner-friendly software.
  • Good balance of usability and performance on modest hardware

Peppermint OS

  • Lightweight and flexible; emphasizes web-based apps and speed.
  • Fewer Windows-specific guidance and more DIY feel.
  • If you like customizing and a lean system, it’s great, but it can be a steeper learning curve for a Windows user at first.

Hope that helps
