Flawless install. 2. Even more lightweight than CBPP 12, at least for me, on a cold boot it is very noticeable. 3. Stable and reliable thanks to the base of Debian 13: "Trixie". 4. Fast and snappy thanks to Openbox. 5. Trustworthy, it's been around for 10 years. 6. If you liked the previous versions of CBPP then you will enjoy this release. 7. Looking for a lightweight distro? Then this is the one, and if you've been wanting to try out or learn the stacking window manager Openbox then CBPP 13 is the perfect choice. Was this review helpful?

A no frills distro fast and efficient especially for old machines, nice geek look. It is however a distro not for the average user but a user who already has a minimum of familiarity with linux. Excellent compromise between the great stability and reliability of debian and the lightness of openbox and in general a minimal and essential front end for a fairly expert user as already said.

Quick as lightning setting your hair on fire. got my logi Mini media keys working and with Solaar have no issues. This ancient box is as light and nimble as a 24-core 64-GB rig without all the fan noise and heat. Screw wayland bloat and all the commercial interests hiding in it. I found XFCE years ago and loved it and when I came back to Linux, found BunsenLabs and loved it and then decided to try Crunch Bang. Love it. Have customizations in BunsenLabs you want in Crunch Bang, or vice versa, no problem. Easy peasy. I don't think I'll consider another Linux distro even for a new machine. There are too many performance gains here. I love Openbox. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 20 reader reviews of Crunchbangplusplus...
