Setelah merilis produk rasa “One” pada bulan Mei dan Juni, Tim Peppermint dengan bangga merilis penawaran keduanya yaitu distro Peppermint rasa “Ice”:

This is not an upgrade to replace Peppermint OS One, but another project that we will be under constant development from here forward. Peppermint Ice was developed around Chromium as its default browser and a brand new SSB [Site Specific Browser] Application was developed by Kendall Weaver named ‘Ice’ which this new Peppermint variant is named after. The default Cloud Applications are simply included in Peppermint Ice as an example of the flexibility of the Peppermint Ice SSB as opposed to locally installed applications. These defaults can easily be removed and added again later as the user sees fit.
