Description

BunsenLabs Linux Lithium is a lightweight distribution that features a highly customizable Openbox desktop environment. This operating system serves as a community-driven continuation of the now-defunct CrunchBang Linux project. The latest version is based on Debian 10 and incorporates various configuration and resource packages layered on top of the Debian framework. The management of the underlying Debian system remains unchanged. Users can enjoy a pre-configured Openbox window manager equipped with the tint2 panel, conky system monitor, and jgmenu, which provides an extensive desktop menu. It comes with a collection of visually appealing GTK2/3 themes, wallpapers, and conky configurations, creating a cohesive aesthetic. Additionally, it offers a variety of tools and utilities designed to help users maintain their system efficiently. To enhance the initial user experience, a selection of desktop, multimedia, and hardware-related packages are included by default. The distribution is designed with limitless customization possibilities, allowing users to tailor their environments to their preferences. Furthermore, BunsenLabs provides a combined live-CD and installation media compatible with both Debian amd64 (x86-64) and i386 (i686) architectures for easy setup.
