stick with that for now so install stick with that for now so install selected there we go we got our little selected there we go we got our little selected there we go we got our little terminal window here since we already terminal window here since we already terminal window here since we already inputted our password we're not going to inputted our password we're not going to inputted our password we're not going to need to and done so close that out and need to and done so close that out and need to and done so close that out and now theoretically we should have firefox now theoretically we should have firefox now theoretically we should have firefox on our system it's firefox esr so if we on our system it's firefox esr so if we on our system it's firefox esr so if we go over here let's go ahead and find the go over here let's go ahead and find the go over here let's go ahead and find the version number so about firefox this is version number so about firefox this is version number so about firefox this is version 78 so it's a little behind but version 78 so it's a little behind but version 78 so it's a little behind but again this is debian i did run an update again this is debian i did run an update again this is debian i did run an update a bit earlier and it looked like it was a bit earlier and it looked like it was a bit earlier and it looked like it was using some of the unstable repositories using some of the unstable repositories using some of the unstable repositories like there's a mix but i'm not 100 sure like there's a mix but i'm not 100 sure like there's a mix but i'm not 100 sure on that so close this out here let's on that so close this out here let's on that so close this out here let's check out the pre-installed software check out the pre-installed software check out the pre-installed software there's really not too much so this there's really not too much so this there's really not too much so this shouldn't take too long so under all shouldn't take too long so under all shouldn't take too long so under all applications applications applications being that this is xfce we're gonna have being that this is xfce we're gonna have being that this is xfce we're gonna have a lot of different xfce type a lot of different xfce type a lot of different xfce type applications so that's a lot of what applications so that's a lot of what applications so that's a lot of what these are we have gnome disks in here as these are we have gnome disks in here as these are we have gnome disks in here as well as files which is this is nautilus well as files which is this is nautilus well as files which is this is nautilus uh gparted is installed we have the uh uh gparted is installed we have the uh uh gparted is installed we have the uh gw package manager to go ahead and gw package manager to go ahead and gw package manager to go ahead and easily install a deb deb or debian easily install a deb deb or debian easily install a deb deb or debian packages so if i go file open i could packages so if i go file open i could packages so if i go file open i could probably open up dev files.deb through probably open up dev files.deb through probably open up dev files.deb through there so now go down here we have icon there so now go down here we have icon there so now go down here we have icon mail reader we have the peppermint hub mail reader we have the peppermint hub mail reader we have the peppermint hub which we're about to dive into we have which we're about to dive into we have which we're about to dive into we have our basic xfce our basic xfce our basic xfce settings and configuration options we settings and configuration options we settings and configuration options we have our terminal emulator here it does have our terminal emulator here it does have our terminal emulator here it does look like it includes a web browser so look like it includes a web browser so look like it includes a web browser so if i hit web browser here if i hit web browser here if i hit web browser here oh this is firefox so it just recognized oh this is firefox so it just recognized oh this is firefox so it just recognized that that's my web browser i was that that's my web browser i was that that's my web browser i was thinking it was going to open up like thinking it was going to open up like thinking it was going to open up like gnome web or something uh welcome to gnome web or something uh welcome to gnome web or something uh welcome to peppermint window manager and more xfc peppermint window manager and more xfc peppermint window manager and more xfc settings so really not a lot but it's

settings so really not a lot but it's settings so really not a lot but it's really easy to go and get really really easy to go and get really really easy to go and get really whatever you would like peppermint whatever you would like peppermint whatever you would like peppermint extras this from what i've been told is extras this from what i've been told is extras this from what i've been told is theming and what not peppermint used to theming and what not peppermint used to theming and what not peppermint used to come with a lot of different wallpapers come with a lot of different wallpapers come with a lot of different wallpapers themes and stuff like that but if i go themes and stuff like that but if i go themes and stuff like that but if i go over here and i go to desktop settings over here and i go to desktop settings over here and i go to desktop settings you can see there's really not much you can see there's really not much you can see there's really not much going on in the way of backgrounds and going on in the way of backgrounds and going on in the way of backgrounds and if i if i if i go into the settings here and i open up go into the settings here and i open up go into the settings here and i open up appearance there's really not much going appearance there's really not much going appearance there's really not much going in the way either we have our peppermint in the way either we have our peppermint in the way either we have our peppermint red dark which by the way is a beautiful red dark which by the way is a beautiful red dark which by the way is a beautiful xfce theme i really love what they've xfce theme i really love what they've xfce theme i really love what they've done with the color schemes the branding done with the color schemes the branding done with the color schemes the branding and everything like that and everything like that and everything like that icons not much fonts normal and we have icons not much fonts normal and we have icons not much fonts normal and we have some settings here let's go ahead and some settings here let's go ahead and some settings here let's go ahead and grab these peppermint extras so here we grab these peppermint extras so here we grab these peppermint extras so here we have themes icons and wallpaper so let's have themes icons and wallpaper so let's have themes icons and wallpaper so let's go and get a little bit of everything so go and get a little bit of everything so go and get a little bit of everything so you can see by installing the themes the you can see by installing the themes the you can see by installing the themes the following will be applied which is a following will be applied which is a following will be applied which is a much larger list than what we just saw much larger list than what we just saw much larger list than what we just saw so let's go ahead and install that uh so let's go ahead and install that uh so let's go ahead and install that uh give that a check and install so now give that a check and install so now give that a check and install so now it's going to go ahead and put in all of it's going to go ahead and put in all of it's going to go ahead and put in all of those different themes and then we go those different themes and then we go those different themes and then we go and close this out let's cancel out of and close this out let's cancel out of and close this out let's cancel out of here let's go ahead and grab the icons here let's go ahead and grab the icons here let's go ahead and grab the icons and then the wallpapers oh this one and then the wallpapers oh this one and then the wallpapers oh this one wants a password wants a password wants a password [Music] [Music] [Music] there we go cancel that out cancel there we go cancel that out cancel there we go cancel that out cancel and wallpapers so for wallpapers we're and wallpapers so for wallpapers we're and wallpapers so for wallpapers we're going to add an additional 47 images going to add an additional 47 images going to add an additional 47 images let's go for it all right so we got all let's go for it all right so we got all let's go for it all right so we got all those before i go ahead and close out those before i go ahead and close out those before i go ahead and close out this welcome to peppermint prompt we this welcome to peppermint prompt we this welcome to peppermint prompt we have tutorials have tutorials have tutorials open pep hub and of course they have the

open pep hub and of course they have the open pep hub and of course they have the release notes and link to their release notes and link to their release notes and link to their community stuff so now let's go and go community stuff so now let's go and go community stuff so now let's go and go to desktop settings and then here let's to desktop settings and then here let's to desktop settings and then here let's change the folder to backgrounds maybe change the folder to backgrounds maybe change the folder to backgrounds maybe yeah here it is these are all the other yeah here it is these are all the other yeah here it is these are all the other peppermint os backgrounds and wallpapers peppermint os backgrounds and wallpapers peppermint os backgrounds and wallpapers in addition just to this uh basic gray in addition just to this uh basic gray in addition just to this uh basic gray and what's pre-included so if i wanted and what's pre-included so if i wanted and what's pre-included so if i wanted to i could go ahead and apply one of to i could go ahead and apply one of to i could go ahead and apply one of these that looks super cool let's just these that looks super cool let's just these that looks super cool let's just go for it go for it go for it and if we head over to and if we head over to and if we head over to appearance where we just were you are appearance where we just were you are appearance where we just were you are going to see a plethora is that the going to see a plethora is that the going to see a plethora is that the right word why can't i move this there right word why can't i move this there right word why can't i move this there we go a whole bunch of different themes we go a whole bunch of different themes we go a whole bunch of different themes so here you can see all the new arc all so here you can see all the new arc all so here you can see all the new arc all the new peppermints so if i didn't like the new peppermints so if i didn't like the new peppermints so if i didn't like the red dark i could go like red mixed the red dark i could go like red mixed the red dark i could go like red mixed sand pink dark which honestly that looks sand pink dark which honestly that looks sand pink dark which honestly that looks really cool and a whole bunch of other really cool and a whole bunch of other really cool and a whole bunch of other different color schemes and whatnot so different color schemes and whatnot so different color schemes and whatnot so they don't include it but they give you they don't include it but they give you they don't include it but they give you the option to have more options i'm the option to have more options i'm the option to have more options i'm going to switch it back to red dark for going to switch it back to red dark for going to switch it back to red dark for now and close this out so from there now and close this out so from there now and close this out so from there let's go ahead and check out the pep hub let's go ahead and check out the pep hub let's go ahead and check out the pep hub and it looks like this is just like and it looks like this is just like and it looks like this is just like links to other things links to other things links to other things just like just like just like things that you'd use more frequently so things that you'd use more frequently so things that you'd use more frequently so like if i open up a panel this is like if i open up a panel this is like if i open up a panel this is probably just gonna open up the normal probably just gonna open up the normal probably just gonna open up the normal xfce panel settings and here if you've xfce panel settings and here if you've xfce panel settings and here if you've used xfce before you're pretty familiar used xfce before you're pretty familiar used xfce before you're pretty familiar with the customization options it's with the customization options it's with the customization options it's actually actually actually fairly customizable for uh how fairly customizable for uh how fairly customizable for uh how lightweight it is and then of course we lightweight it is and then of course we lightweight it is and then of course we have a dump or d conf editor uh have a dump or d conf editor uh have a dump or d conf editor uh notification settings regular settings notification settings regular settings notification settings regular settings uh yeah this is just xfc stuff we go to uh yeah this is just xfc stuff we go to uh yeah this is just xfc stuff we go to networking hardware basically what networking hardware basically what networking hardware basically what they've done is instead of like going to they've done is instead of like going to they've done is instead of like going to settings here a lot of these are just in

settings here a lot of these are just in settings here a lot of these are just in here it seems like so like power manager here it seems like so like power manager here it seems like so like power manager for example if i open that up through for example if i open that up through for example if i open that up through here power manager we're gonna open up here power manager we're gonna open up here power manager we're gonna open up through here power manager and then over through here power manager and then over through here power manager and then over here we have a system and software if i here we have a system and software if i here we have a system and software if i go over to select packages let's check go over to select packages let's check go over to select packages let's check this out what application is this oh this out what application is this oh this out what application is this oh this is just the what we opened with the this is just the what we opened with the this is just the what we opened with the welcome prompt i don't know not too welcome prompt i don't know not too welcome prompt i don't know not too exciting but also it's not supposed to exciting but also it's not supposed to exciting but also it's not supposed to be that's kind of the point if i go be that's kind of the point if i go be that's kind of the point if i go ahead and open up flat hub it's just a ahead and open up flat hub it's just a ahead and open up flat hub it's just a web browser link so yeah other than that web browser link so yeah other than that web browser link so yeah other than that there's really not much to this it's there's really not much to this it's there's really not much to this it's basically debian with xfce if that's basically debian with xfce if that's basically debian with xfce if that's what you're looking for you can't go what you're looking for you can't go what you're looking for you can't go wrong so this is lightweight so let's wrong so this is lightweight so let's wrong so this is lightweight so let's see if they have h-top on here is h-top see if they have h-top on here is h-top see if they have h-top on here is h-top pre-installed it's not b-top no so pre-installed it's not b-top no so pre-installed it's not b-top no so they're really light on what's going on they're really light on what's going on they're really light on what's going on here task manager you can't go wrong here task manager you can't go wrong here task manager you can't go wrong cpu usage it's moving around because i'm cpu usage it's moving around because i'm cpu usage it's moving around because i'm moving things around i didn't up my core moving things around i didn't up my core moving things around i didn't up my core counts or anything like that but you can counts or anything like that but you can counts or anything like that but you can see the default memory is 1.2 gigabytes see the default memory is 1.2 gigabytes see the default memory is 1.2 gigabytes of ram of ram of ram this isn't on boot that seems kind of this isn't on boot that seems kind of this isn't on boot that seems kind of high i'm gonna go ahead and reboot the high i'm gonna go ahead and reboot the high i'm gonna go ahead and reboot the system actually and we're back system actually and we're back system actually and we're back fresh on boot so it's under a gig so fresh on boot so it's under a gig so fresh on boot so it's under a gig so that did help a little bit but i'm not that did help a little bit but i'm not that did help a little bit but i'm not as low as i was thinking it would be as low as i was thinking it would be as low as i was thinking it would be generally most people have at least four generally most people have at least four generally most people have at least four gigabytes in their computers now so it's gigabytes in their computers now so it's gigabytes in their computers now so it's not too big of a deal i was thinking it not too big of a deal i was thinking it not too big of a deal i was thinking it would have been close to like five or would have been close to like five or would have been close to like five or six hundred megabytes but it's not too six hundred megabytes but it's not too six hundred megabytes but it's not too important i guess uh their default setup important i guess uh their default setup important i guess uh their default setup of xfce you've kind of seen how their of xfce you've kind of seen how their of xfce you've kind of seen how their menu is looking we have some favorited menu is looking we have some favorited menu is looking we have some favorited icons down here if i click this we can icons down here if i click this we can icons down here if i click this we can see what else is going up we have the see what else is going up we have the see what else is going up we have the synaptic package manager which is synaptic package manager which is synaptic package manager which is wonderful for uh debian and really any

wonderful for uh debian and really any wonderful for uh debian and really any ubuntu-based operating system uh text ubuntu-based operating system uh text ubuntu-based operating system uh text editor some power stuff the run program editor some power stuff the run program editor some power stuff the run program prompt right here application finder we prompt right here application finder we prompt right here application finder we have our little workspace switcher down have our little workspace switcher down have our little workspace switcher down here uh right here we could go and run here uh right here we could go and run here uh right here we could go and run updates so if i wanted to run an update updates so if i wanted to run an update updates so if i wanted to run an update and i can actually show you you can see and i can actually show you you can see and i can actually show you you can see right here we have uh back ports right here we have uh back ports right here we have uh back ports unstable but the hit one is in release unstable but the hit one is in release unstable but the hit one is in release nothing to update because i've already nothing to update because i've already nothing to update because i've already done that but yeah done that but yeah done that but yeah that's really about it very lightweight that's really about it very lightweight that's really about it very lightweight system runs good the for xfce the system runs good the for xfce the system runs good the for xfce the theming is absolutely beautiful this is theming is absolutely beautiful this is theming is absolutely beautiful this is something i can see myself throwing like something i can see myself throwing like something i can see myself throwing like an old thinkpad t420 or something like an old thinkpad t420 or something like an old thinkpad t420 or something like that and having it just run absolutely that and having it just run absolutely that and having it just run absolutely fantastic uh with all that big thank you fantastic uh with all that big thank you fantastic uh with all that big thank you to our youtube members and patreon to our youtube members and patreon to our youtube members and patreon supporters you guys are awesome thank supporters you guys are awesome thank supporters you guys are awesome thank you to lenode for sponsoring this video you to lenode for sponsoring this video you to lenode for sponsoring this video and thank you you personally for and thank you you personally for and thank you you personally for watching this video it means the world watching this video it means the world watching this video it means the world to me and if you did like it make sure to me and if you did like it make sure to me and if you did like it make sure you subscribe so you do not miss any you subscribe so you do not miss any you subscribe so you do not miss any future content with all that have a future content with all that have a future content with all that have a beautiful day and good bye
