"BunsenLabs Linux is the original "community continuation" of the lightweight CrunchBang Linux distro. BunsenLabs was announced in February 2015, just days after CrunchBang called it quits. The other continuation of CrunchBang is a mainly one-man project by Ben "Computermouth" Young, called CrunchBang++."
"This version replaces multiple core components of the BunsenLabs' characteristic and slightly idiosyncratic setup with alternatives that can work on both X11 and the Wayland-based labwc compositor. For now, this version still defaults to Openbox on X.org, but the maintainers are making things ready for a transition to Wayland."
"BunsenLabs is the more experimental and innovative of the two sibling offshoots. This is more apparent than ever with the Debian 13 version. For instance, the tint2 panel is gone, replaced by xfce4-panel from the Xfce desktop, and similarly, LXDE's lxterminal has also been replaced with its Xfce equivalent, xfce4-terminal."
BunsenLabs Linux, a lightweight Debian-based distro forked from CrunchBang, released its Carbon version seven months after Debian 13 arrived. The new version replaces multiple core components with alternatives compatible with both X11 and the Wayland-based labwc compositor, though it still defaults to Openbox on X.org. BunsenLabs, announced in February 2015 as a community continuation after CrunchBang's discontinuation, takes a more experimental approach compared to CrunchBang++, another CrunchBang continuation. Carbon replaces tint2 panel with xfce4-panel and lxterminal with xfce4-terminal, preparing infrastructure for eventual Wayland transition while maintaining the characteristic vertical floating panel and Conky system monitor design.
