Peppermint is a lightweight Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Peppermint on Void Linux.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following requirements:
First, you will need to update your system to the latest packages. Open your terminal and type the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Su
This will update your system.
Next, install the dependencies required for Peppermint installation. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -y curl wget tar gzip xz-utils bc
This will install the necessary dependencies.
Now, download the Peppermint ISO file from the official website. Open your terminal and run the following command:
wget https://peppermintos.com/iso/Peppermint-10-20190514-amd64.iso
This will download the ISO file to your terminal.
Once the ISO file is downloaded, we need to create a bootable USB using dd. Run the following command in your terminal, replacing "sdb" with the name of the USB drive (You can check the USB name using lsblk):
sudo dd if=./Peppermint-10-20190514-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
Wait for the process to complete. This will create a bootable USB for Peppermint, which you can use to install the operating system.
Insert the bootable USB created in the previous step into your computer and reboot it. Press the appropriate key to enter the boot menu (usually F2, F12, or Delete key, depending on your system). Select the USB drive from the boot menu and press Enter.
You will now enter the Peppermint installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Peppermint on Void Linux. Enjoy using Peppermint and explore its features.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
