Crunchbang (Debian stable + Openbox + Tint + some other goodies) was the first ever distro that stopped my distrohopping dead in it's track. I simply loved that distro: snappy, slick, with the right balance between CLI and GUI, and a warm community. After its main maintainer stopped developing it back in 2015, two branches carried on the legacy: Cruncbang++ and Bunsenlabs Linux. They are both great distributions, but the original #! had something special...
excellent vid for learning openbox config from scratch. Thanks
I'm really enjoying this. Thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
the minimalis aspects of openbox and LXDE are what make them my favorite and hate that people are saying don't use them because they are not being developed anymore yet LXDE ..... question should be is when does (or how often) a minimal app needs to continue developement before it stops being minimal.... I guess the answer would be when it breaks
I've done openbox since 2005-ish. My preferrred wm. Left a couple screenshots on deviantart (by dzon65). Those seemingly very light setups( well under 100mb ram) were loaded with scripts, cornerbindings, tiling and what not. Loads of awesome stuff. Even the lightest one I ever did, a custom Slitaz, booting around 28mb , could, besides of the blazing speed, do stuff you hardly see in openbox setups. It's a real pitty that the nowadays DE kids hardly have a clue about what you can do with the stuff. O well, what to expect from people who grew up with chromebooks and say stupid stuff like "openbox isn't being updated", completely unaware that openbox is one of the very few totally finished linux products and doesn't require updates. O well. I can tell you this though. Over the years I've seen countless desktops literally fall apart and what not. But this one little wm? Never.
Ps. You should take a good look at xdotool. If you understand what the keyboard emulating package can do, you can achieve a hell of a lot on an openbox desktop.
Hi JustAGuy, I'm loving openbox and tint2 on Debian 11 minimal install, I got this ancient laptop Fujitsu Siemens AMILO 1.5G RAM and I used your bash script to do the installation (Thanks for that)
If you got a moment, couple of questions, 1. I wanted synaptic package manager and installed it, and it runs fine from a terminal but won't launch from the panel, 2. This old laptop has a SD card reader slot, when the system boots it says there might be trouble with mmc0 and there is, it doesn't register in pcmanfm and for the life of me I can't seem to find how to install a driver for it, already having done the install missing firmware bit, so any help would be great thanks
Not sure why synaptic would not launch from the tint2 panel assuming the path is correct. Weird. Did you try installing: firmware-linux-nonfree and/or firmware-misc-nonfree? I am using thunar and also install thunar-volman.
