has Peppermint OS "de-buntuized?"
 

Continuing to explore Debian-based distros, I glanced at Peppermint on Distrowatch, and read that it used to be Lubuntu-based but is now Debian-based. It switched to Debian earlier this year. Okay, I suppose that presumably means it stopped using *buntu repositories; but does it still feel like a *buntu distro? I'm going to look at it in a live environment, but what do you think?

They are working on a Devuan based distro, soon to be available, I believe.
