It's a bit early than expected, but the Peppermint OS 7 GNU/Linux distribution has been officially unveiled today, June 24, 2016, based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system.

Release highlights of Peppermint OS 7 include a new version of the well-known Ice Site Specific Browser framework, allowing users to install the latest versions of the Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, and Google Chrome web browsers, Whisker Menu as the default Application Menu, and xfce4-panel as the main panel replacing LXPanel.

A new Peppermint Settings Panel is now in place to let you configure your system more easily, Mozilla Firefox is the default web browser because Google dropped support for 32-bit Chrome on Linux, the artwork has been improved and a darker theme with a flatter, but not that flat, look it now provided for the whole system.
