I'm still using the Crunchbang system that I set up on this computer in 2013. My ancient hardware doesn't feel slow because the OS is so light. I've had to hack it pretty hard at times to keep it running. Major Debian upgrades have sometimes been troublesome - shifting from sysv to systemd gave me a bit of heartburn - but it is so efficient that I never did get around to swinging over to a different distro or to even do a clean reinstall. Nice to see that the new improved Crunchbang keeps to the original design goals. It is just a great Debian install.
Jay, I, for one, have never heard of Crunchbang ++. Now that I've seen it in action with the pros and cons fully explained, I like it. I'm a big fan of Debian Linux and my love for this long-term distro is only eclipsed by Arch. Great video, as usual. I just love your channel and what you do to educate the public in the awesome and exciting world of Linux!
Just to let you know, that after this video, I installed #!++ on my laptop. Absolutely love it, now my daily driver. Just what I was looking for. Many thanks indeed for making this video recommending it!
Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I thought I might have been the only one to have enjoyed #! for its simplicity, versatility, and ability to boot on most any hardware ATT (2009-2013). Back in the day, I honed in on Linux Mint Mate (LMDE 1 & 2) on my home PC, Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8400 w/8gb ram) as my daily driver. But for my various mobile computing needs when I taught at universities, language schools, and at company offices, I used an installed on USB version of CrunchBang (#!). It was fast, & lightweight regardless of installed hardware at hand where ever I went. I was completely dumbstruct and heartbroken when it was discontinued by the developer for lack of users (or so he said). I tried Bunsen Lab's version, and like you, felt it untrue to the original. I tried #!++ for a period of time, but my computing needs and hardware requirements changed over the years and I've gotten away from #!++. Currently, I use a Lenovo Yoga 6 with the new AMD Ryzen 5700 w/16gb ram & high rez touchscreen (spoilt by Chromebooks). I've honed in on Debian 11 Cinnamon DE w/non-free drivers as my daily driver, also changed to testing repos - I like rolling releases over nuk'n pave; I know. I should use Arch, but then I'd have to retrain my terminal console commands' muscle memory - I'm so used to Debian. After watching your lovely video review of an ol' flame of mine, I'm going to give her another try; if for nothing more than a mobile (USB) daily driver, again. Keep on truck'n. MLE.
My go-to distro has always been puppy Linux. Currently fossapup. No other distro comes close when it comes to setting things up. I will be using crunchbang plus plus again because it's simple, fast and functional. Thanks again Jay!!!😀
I run #! in my 2011 netbook for serveral years. It was the best distro for small screens with bad trackpad as you can forget about the mouse (mostly). So glad to know that the spirit of that amazing distro continued up to now. Thank you for the review
Crunchbang was awesome. I was using in really old laptop, and everything worked super smooth. Sad to see the project shutdown. Glad to see this new version
Hands down one of the best Debian distros for lightweight usage ever, and have been using it for many, many years up until its end. I was ecstatic to find it brought back to life.
@@folksurvival Are you serious about your commend? Sooo, no one has the right to talk about their hobbies and all. You are such a mean human! You must respect others. You don't have the right to make fun of anyone. What a child you are!!! haha
Hi Jay, thanks for bringing this up! I loved the old Crunchbang back in the day, as I used it to breathe new life into the old corporate laptops I was given by my work. Definitely going to check this out, as I miss the speed and aesthetic.
Thank you Jay for introduced to me this incredible distribution. I'd immediately went to get it in order to install it on one of my Raspberry Pi, unfortunately is not available for ARM, yet. Anyway, I will try it.
I was a CB user for years and when the project finished I moved to CB++. CB was great and CB++ its exactly the same, the only difference is that CB ++ is not allowing live from a USB. In any case CB++ is a fantastic distribution and its curious to me it doesn't have more attention.
I did too. I installed Sparky lxqt and added openbox NOIR and boot into that. Now I have both. Both are the best. Bunsen used to be great. Used to be. Mabox was good too. WAS
Crunchbang was one of my first, and got me introduced to Openbox and Conky. I moved on rapidly to Arch+Openbox+Conky, then after rejecting gnome and KDE, I settle on Arch+i3+Conky as my bar for a long time. Currently on Manjaro+Gnome+i3 but am jumping back to Endeavour+i3/Gnome. I might take a look at Openbox again. What memories!
👍👍👍👍👍 - Jay, you are Simply Awesome! Thanks for show casing CrunchBang++! Found CrunchBang++ thru DistroWatch when I was looking for a light-weight distro for my older PC. First thing caught my attn was Conky, speed & how minimum it is. Then was the 'Right-click' menu... Ultimately I settled for LinixMint xfce - though not as light-weight, it fit my work-flow better @ then. Yes, it's also cool to spin load of VMs in more powerful machines!
It's Jan 12 2023 and I'm using it currently as i watch this video! My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad SL-410 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz with 3.7GB RAM circa 2011 and Crunchbang++ is perfect! Very basic interface, no needless bells and whistles which can hog resources. To add a little "bling" I installed an automatic wallpaper slideshow for my desktop background using a combination of Variety and Feh.
Honestly crunch bang ++ got me into tiling window managers. Not heavy on resources at all. Very quick. If your keyboard centric, trying to get used to being in a terminal. Beginnings should try i3, bspwm and awesome for beginners. Later on try other dynamic T.W.M. Great video
I installed the Crunchbang plus plus on an old laptop from around 2007 that my wife has, it’s an old laptop and had reached a natural end with lightweight Ubuntu, Crunchbang has enabled this laptop to run for another lot of years runs really well and runs well with the modern web, it’s a lovely os probably the nicest Linux I’ve used
I have been using linux for many years now and have hopped a lot of distros. I love Debian and usually install it with XFCE. Currently I am on Linux Mint 20, but am really considering jumping to crunchbang. I can do a lot in debian, and my laptop is old af, so this is tempting
I started out on #!crunchbang was the distro that made me stop distrohoping and focus on learning the operating system it self. needless to say i run debian btw :P
I really liked Bunsen Labs and would of used it on my desktop if it wasn't so behind. With ++ being based on Debian 11 that's just about as new as I need for most things including hardware support. I will probably download this to give it a spin in a VM. Open box can even look pretty good too, especially with certain compositors.
The new BL is underway, but I don't think it's even frozen yet. That said, I updated a BL desktop with Debian 11 immediately after it was released, and so far haven't seen any problems.
Nice video. Real fast os solution. Made me think a little bit back in to the atari/amiga and dos periode with Quaterdeck and Windows versions 1 and 2. Simpel and productive.
I used Crunchbang (#!) 9.04 back on my Celeron Windows 98 SE laptop. I was always impressed back in 2009 that a 266 mhz machine with 128 MB of RAM could run Chromium and play 480p youtube videos. More importantly, the laptop had USB 2.0 ports, which let me use a more modern USB wifi dongle that would never have worked on Win9x.
Great review....I noticed it using around 1Gb of ram....not sure what you have running in the background...would love to see your take on Bunsen Labs latest and the differences and what you don't like as much
I loved Crunchbang -- especially the Statler Xfce version. But I ended up leaving when the Xfce version was discontinued. I have since, however, gotten used to Openbox by installing Debian Bullseye and then rolling up my sleeves and manually tinkering with Openbox until I've got things running exactly how I want.
You only need to install Terminator on any distro to get that. Not that I'm trying to deter you. I'm using the same Crunchbang installation that I set up in 2013 to edit this comment. Of course I've had to do some major hacking to keep it working after the distro officially died but it's worth it.
The original #! stopped by distro hopping. Question, I have the same CRG9 monitor as you (two actually), do you have to lower the resolution? Thanks. Great channel BTW. Subscribed!
Late to the party, but would you recommend this or BunsenLabs? I'm trying to decide which one to replace Ubuntu Budgie on my Thinkpad T500. I really like Ubuntu Budgie, but it really taxes the dual core CPU sometimes, even with relatively little going on.
The only thing Bunsen labs is better in is default color selection for global theming out of the box. I think it has a beautiful yet dark and drab palette. Something about that faded red speaks to me
excellent video. cbpp is stable! it make's an excellent server platform or desktop OS. What more can you want; speed, stability and simplicity? It is my favorite distro.
Ah yeah, I recall Crunchbang was gone in 2015. Hey Jay, guess what distro is getting close to release? It's Slackware. There's gonna be Slackware 15. Yyyyyyyyyup. Gonna have a look at that one?
yeah, original #!(cunchbang) was a distro made and supported by one guy, Philip Newborough (corenominal). Eventually he got tired and gave up. It was just him, no other developers working on the distro, so when he gave up in 2015, no one could blame him.

Installed it at 5 am. Done now. Lotsa theming, chasing programs and editing.config but this thing is bad to the bone. Runs good right from the git go but I'm a freak ;-)
The only thing I don't like is the manual menu. Having to manually add/remove applications to the menu each time you install/remove them is a pain for me, so I replaced the menu with obmenu-generator.
@@dingokidneys I have problems with VLC when it comes to playing certain videos. I'd like to know if Crunchbang++ has codecs out of the box, so I can use GNOME MPV media player with no issues.
@@lloritoovidexequield.8609 I'm using the old Crunchbang but if #!++ is the same it won't include any additional codecs over and above what VLC contains by default. This being a Debian based distro, you can install anything - media player or codecs - that is in the Debian repositories, or with a bit more work anything at all.
While it might work for the moment, I wouldn't count on it working for very long. There are a bunch of specialised packages that are likely to have dependencies in the base Debian install and if any of the base install packages are upgraded in an incompatible way, you will find things breaking without a clear path to fixing them. That's what happened to my original CB install when the distro died and I upgraded to an unsupported Debian release. I managed to strip out or fix the broken stuff so I kept my system going but it was a close thing to just doing a clean reinstall of Debian. Still I learned quite a bit by persisting with fixing things.
