CrunchBang++ 12 Review: The Minimalist Distro You’ve Been Waiting For!

[@robertdelgreco5777]

I used Crunchbang for years before the dev dropped it. I loved this distro. I tried Bunsen a few years ago. I wasn't liking it. CB++ feels like the devs are staying true to original distro. I love that they are keeping this awesome distro alive!

Oh my gorsh!! Thank you for reminding me this was revived!!! I really missed this distro and will definitely be taking up a little distro hopping again.

thanks Josh!

Good, man!

Josh, Crunchbank++ looks like a good distro. I have pretty much settled on Void Linux with DWM. I get up to date software with a minimal setup. Debian gets a little long in the tooth for my taste these days. Earlier in my Linux journey, I feel in love with Debian 9. Void is rock solid and meets my needs perfectly. Out of curiosity, what is you daily driver on your main system?

I like CrunchBang ++ 12 and Bunsen Labs Boron,both using OpenBox and both fast and light,lie you say great for older hardware.

Not for newbies unless you are prepared to do some learning. Openbox great!

I installed CB++12 on a VirtualBox VM. I've been looking for exactly this type of distro for simply using a terminal on Win11 to connect to Linux Host Servers. Finally found something very light and responsive. One issue though, I cannot seem to get it to install the VM guest additions. No matter how I try to run the scripts on the "inserted" CD image, it gives me a permission denied message. (Yes, I am running it via sudo, and yes the script does have execute privileges.) Did you install any VM Guest Additions? If so, how did you do it? I need it to resize the VM window super tall and narrow so that the terminal is just taking up about 20% of one side of my screen. That's my preferred way of working. I can do this with other distros, but need the VM Guest Additions to get this to work. Any advice anyone?
