It's a bit earlier than expected, but the Peppermint OS 7 GNU/Linux distribution has been officially unveiled...based
on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system [with] a lot of
packages from the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS distro, which means that it will
also be a long-term support release....
"Along with the shift to the
16.04 (Xenial) code base, Peppermint 7 continues our policy of choosing
the best components from other desktop environments, wherever that may
be, and integrating them into a cohesive whole with our own software,"
reads today's announcement.

"Team Peppermint" says they're switching to Firefox as their default browser for
site-specific browser functionality
(similar to Chrome's -app mode) after Google dropped their 32-bit
version of Chrome and moved to PPAPI plugins "which effectively ends
Flash support in 32-bit Chromium"...
But you can also still choose
Chrome or Chromium for site-specific browsing (and the OS comes in
32-bit and 64-bit editions).
