Peppermint OS can be regarded as one of the [most lightweight Linux distros](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) around, with a relatively minimal storage footprint, when compared to other more weighty distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu.

Back in 2023, the developers had launched a more compact release under the [Peppermint OS Mini](https://itsfoss.com/peppermint-mini/) name, which was available in 32-bit/64-bit builds with both Debian and Devuan bases.

In contrast to that, they have now gone to the opposite end of the spectrum to offer a new “*fully loaded*” variant of Peppermint OS, which doesn't hold back when it comes to the storage size.

Let's check it out. 😃

## Peppermint OS Loaded: What to Expect?

Responding to many requests from users, the developers have introduced this variant for providing **a pre-configured option that will make life easier for new users**, giving them a solid out-of-the-box experience.

To accomplish that, they have **put in many new applications and tools**, which include the likes of Inkscape, LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP, Thunderbird, Timeshift, GNOME System Tools, and Atril.

Furthermore, to make the deal even sweeter, there's **pre-configured Flatpak support** (*not on 32-bit systems*) that allows users to take advantage of a wide array of applications, and there are pre-installed utilities like Btop++, pfetch, and xDaily too.
