I downloaded the new iso the very second ( not minute ) it was released and installed it.
Install went OK from A to Z.
Installing appz also no problem.
Have tried most of them and see no problems
Good job.
Hope Devuan looks like that
Thank you

Maybe on the next iso build have the clock match the Cantarell Regular 11 font? It is extremely small to read, even on a 24 inch monitor. Also noticed there is a duplicate listing of "Cantarell Regular" as well as others in Xfce Appearance. One does apply the right font, the other does not.

Leviticus Thanks! a lot for pointing this. I created an Issue so we can keep track of the status of this fix https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pil/12/
Feel free to add comments as needed.
Also we don't randomly or manually build ISOs the pipeline builds all our ISOs nightly
When things(ISOs) get ready to publish to the public it is automatically done when the code bases are approved,
The tool we use that handles all that automation is called buildbot
To scale all the Desktop ISO builds, bubbles handles all of that
I tell you all this you because if you have time please have a gander at bubbles, that is where all the configs are located, and if you find any bugs or have ideas to improve the OS that's where things begin for the mainline ISOs, easy day to make changes to improve the OS
The more eyes on that code base the better,
bubbles builds the Deb 32/64, Devaun 32/64 and the Deb/Devuan ARM 64 ISOs nightly
The more the community pokes around in there the more feedback we can get and improve Peppermint.
This tool BuildBot runs bubbles, but we also have ISOs that don't use Calamares they use the debian installer, for example, the mini ISO (a.k,a. netinstall) and the server ISO they are built nightly as well. using a different build process written by @manuelr-123.
We also partnered with AcorOS to because the community has expressed interest in a traditional predefined desktop operating system, vice minimal, AcorOS also uses buildbot and our shared resources to manage their pipelines.
Finally I recall in the experimental pipeline, there is an effort for a possible openSuSE base , and even gentoo base for peppermint builds or at least we have the base structure prepped for it.
I hope that helps I know its a bit winded, but i think it would be more helpful to explain the bigger picture.
If you have any questions please feel free to let us know... thanks! again.

I had my first acquaintance of peppermint os from its debian 11 base. From almost 20 years of linux exposure ranging from ubuntu to manjaro, I can say that peppermint os is a reliable linux.
My only suggestion is the look-and-feel. Peppermint os should have a better starting screen. At least a stable peppermint os logo/brand right in the middle screen.
Definitely it shouldn't be this 3 thin flashing circular lines around peppermint os. I have no idea what it would convey. In previous debian 11, it was a circular fire wheel if I still recall.
Maybe a leaf-like logo representing peppermint leaf would be more appropriate. This leaf could sit next to the name peppermint os. Or make all the three "p" letters to those peppermint leaves.
A solid and stable first look would give an assuring feel for users.

You know that is a really good idea.... I do agree with oldton I like the simplicity of the boot screen, but I love the idea of including the community, personally I am not big on branding functionality is my goal. . Maybe we should start a post for boot screen ideas. a place for folks to submit their ideas, and we can work them in the pip-lines that would be nice to see.
What do you guys think.

hey ~ric~ yeah it is coming along. I been make some changes to our ISO builder for the main line ISO's hopefully we will have some tests avialable in the next few weeks.

Yes, I know you didn't fall asleep.
Carry on testing, I carry on waiting :-) :-)
The actual reason I was posting is that my-lots-of- free time is finished after the 7th sept.
That's all :-)

I think the starting screen is just great
Keep it
