- | The strongest element to Peppermint is ICE. This is the strongest feature that helps create the hybrid cloud OS. ICE is found in the Solus and the Apricity OS. This app will be reviewed in detail later on. | + | Chromixium |
- | Peppermint is a nice OS with great support. The forum is not as busy as the other previously mentioned cloud centric Linux Distros; however the community is helpful. And I believe it might be the oldest of the cloud-based OSes. I can say this distro picks up the missing Chrome OS pieces for the end user to make a great stable system. My only gripe; the system update was not great. I had to refresh it two or three times to get all the security updates. Additionally, | + | Il s' |
- | I used Peppermint for a full week. Once I was past the security updates, Peppermint is a stout and solid OS. It uses the Google Chrome browser; I prefer Chromium for browsing. It incorporates Google Drive as a quicklink to the internet browser for cloud drive access. The Dropbox App is installed by default. Peppermint felt fast and responsive, more so than Solus and Chromixium. It felt like Linux Mint in some regards. | + | Apricity est basé sur la publication en continu (rolling release) d'Arch Linux et, par conséquent, |

+ | **I downloaded the iso directly from www.apricityos.com. The iso can be obtained via torrent too. They do not support 32-bit machines. The bootable USB was easy to create and there were no issues in the install. The installer is Calamares. It is a refined product that is on the same level as the Ubuntu Installers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have the Gnome desktop installed. Their Gnome desktop is streamlined and responsive. They recently released the Cinnamon desktop. The developers recommend Cinnamon for older hardware or for a more traditional desktop environment. The default backgrounds are wonderful. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The OS uses the Pamac and AUR for software management and updates. It comes installed with great default programs such as PlayonLinux, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default browser is Chrome. The Chrome browser has the following extensions installed by default: Ghostery, Great Suspender, and Pushbullet. These extensions have different purposes. Ghostery prevents online tracking. The Great Suspender streamlines the browser efficiency by killing the background processes on inactive Chrome window tabs. Per the Apricity developers Pushbullet, is a tool that lets you send links and small files between your devices, and lets you receive mobile notifications, | ||

+ | **Other features to Apricity are Syncthing and Sbackup. Per the website: | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | SBackup, is one of the easiest ways to backup your computer. While remaining simple and easy to use, it has many notable features which make it stand apart from the competition. SBackup is able to create both compressed and uncompressed backups, able to split uncompressed backups into multiple parts, supports scheduled backups and manual backups, can back up files to both local and remote destinations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have not yet used Syncthing and Sbackup on my computer. So I cannot comment on these features. I have used the ICE application to access Full Circle and my Google Drive. I have added these to my Gnome Dock for quick ease. You can see these favorited icons next to Firefox. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am impressed with Apricity. My only complaint was that a previous update broke Pamac in early February. This was an upstream problem from the developer. Apricity cited that a fix will come soon from the upstream developer. This fix took over 2 weeks to be installed. Antergos and Manjaro fixed the broken Pamac update within 24 hrs. by rolling back to the previous version. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In my humble opinion, the Apricity developers should be proactive in fixing vital programs such as Pamac. Granted there was a bandaid solution offered in the bug forums. This fix was posted only 4 days after the Pamac breakage. However these issues should be addressed quickly if Apricity wants to be a known and respected cloud distro. Despite this criticism, I still like Apricity and the direction it is going. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next month, I will offer Crouton Ubuntu and the Gallium OS as possible cloud distros directly on the Chromebook hardware.** | ||

Syncthing sait transférer de gros fichiers plus rapidement encore que des alternatives basées dans le nuage. Qui plus est, vos propres fichiers, ainsi que vos informations personnelles, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sbackup est l'une des façons les plus faciles de sauvegarder votre ordinateur. Tout en étant simple et convivial, il possède beaucoup de fonctionnalités notables qui le différencient de la concurrence. Sbackup peut créer des sauvegardes normales ou compressées, | ||
