Peppermint OS Now Offers Devuan-Based ISOs for Software Freedom Lovers

Written by undervolting@fediverse.blog — August 7, 2022

The Peppermint OS team announced the release of their first ISO images based on the Devuan GNU/Linux distribution for software freedom lovers and non-systemd users.

Peppermint OS’s goal was always to provide a familiar operating system environment to new Linux users. Initially derived from Ubuntu, Peppermint OS was rebased on Debian Stable earlier this year, a release that came almost three years after the previous version, Peppermint 10.

Since early June 2022, the Peppermint OS devs have teased us with a new version of the GNU/Linux distribution based on the acclaimed Devuan GNU/Linux operating system, which is also derived from Debian GNU/Linux but ships without the controversial systemd init system and only provides free software.

On August 2nd, 2022, Joseph Dickson announced that the first Devuan-based release of Peppermint OS is now ready for mass deployment, targeting everyone who doesn’t want systemd in their system and wants to build a 100% free computer without any proprietary software.
