CrunchBang++ Linux – The Ultimate Lightweight and Stable Linux Distribution
|
||||
======
|
||||
WE REVIEW THE DEBIAN BASED, OPENBOX POWERED LIGHTWEIGHT LINUX
|
||||
DISTRIBUTION CRUNCHBANG++ LINUX AND GUIDE YOU IF YOU PLAN TO USE IT.
|
||||
The CrunchBang++ Linux is a successor of the unique CrunchBang project, which is now discontinued. The earlier CrunchBang Linux was popular because of its using very minimal system resources and being friendly on low-end hardware. CrunchBang++ also has a 32-bit installer (rare these days) for outdated hardware or PCs.
|
||||
|
||||
We received some comments about not featuring CrunchBang++ in our earlier article on [top lightweight Linux Distributions][1]. So, we wanted to do a deep dive on this super-thin Linux Distribution in terms of performance, Accessibility and other factors. Let’s dig in.
|
||||
|
||||
### CrunchBang++ Linux Review
|
||||
|
||||
![CrunchBang++ Linux Desktop with Openbox][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### LIVE Medium and Installation
|
||||
|
||||
As of writing this review, CrunchBang++ is based on the latest Debian 11 Bullseye and provides both 32-bit and 64-bit ISO variants. You can get your copy from the [official website][3]. For this review, we have used the 64-bit installer. The 64-bit installer size is 1.6GB, which is perfect if you compare the popular Linux Distribution ISO size today. For example, the latest Ubuntu 64-bit desktop ISO is 3.2GB+, which is enormous.
|
||||
|
||||
The installer boot menu provides the option to test the LIVE image and kick off the installation. If you are planning to try the LIVE image first, go ahead. But you can not start the installation from the LIVE medium! Instead, you have to boot again and choose the install option. The Live desktop user id and password are both ‘live’.
|
||||
|
||||
![Installation in the boot menu][4]
|
||||
|
||||
The installation in both physical and virtual machines ([virt-manager][5]) went fine. CrunchBang++ uses Debian’s native installer, which is a little complex. But you can easily install it by following the on-screen instructions. You may want to check out our [Debian Installation guide][6] if you are new to Debian installer.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation time is around 5 to 10 minutes on average in virtual and physical systems.
|
||||
|
||||
#### First Look with Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
CrunchBang++ gives you the classic Openbox window manager experience. The login screen is surprisingly clean and perfect, with only the option to enter your credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running it for the first time, a welcome script will guide you to check the internet speed, update your system, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
![The welcome script][7]
|
||||
|
||||
The Openbox itself is fast and clean. The desktop brings a clean look with its pre-configured SBPP Openbox theme with the following components –
|
||||
|
||||
* [gmrun][8] – a lightweight application launcher
|
||||
* [Tint2][9] panel, which is at the top of the desktop
|
||||
* [dmenu][10] – the simple dynamic menu system
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure each of them with easy configuration options accessible from the right-click menu.
|
||||
By default, two workspaces are accessible via the top panel. The top panel also have the basic tray icons for your needs:
|
||||
|
||||
* Volume Control
|
||||
* Network connections
|
||||
* Language tool
|
||||
* Battery monitor
|
||||
* Clipboard manager
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Being a window manager, you do not have an application view. But with the gmrun application launcher, it’s super easy to launch any application. However, the primary Openbox right-click menu gives you all the options whenever you need any application to launch.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Accessibility and applications
|
||||
|
||||
CrunchBang++ only includes the minimum required applications to keep the ISO and installation lightweight. The following applications are pre-installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* GIMP
|
||||
* Thunar File Manager
|
||||
* Catfish File Search
|
||||
* Gnumeric
|
||||
* VLC Media Player
|
||||
* Filezilla
|
||||
* Remote Desktop Client
|
||||
* Transmission Torrent Client
|
||||
* Screenshot utility
|
||||
* Geany Text Editor
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The powerful Synaptic package manager takes care of all your software needs. LibreOffice is not installed by default, so you need to install it separately. There is no utility for centralized settings, so you may feel the lack of a settings manager, sometimes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Performance and Resource Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The performance of CrunchBang++ is perfect for lightweight distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
This distro uses 585 MB of RAM, and the CPU is at 1% in an idle state. If you keep the system running for an hour or more in an inactive state, the RAM is further reduced to around 350 MB. This is an impressive metric.
|
||||
|
||||
![Performance During Idle State][12]
|
||||
|
||||
To test the heavy workload, we opened one instance of the below application in CrunchBang++:
|
||||
|
||||
* Firefox with two tabs
|
||||
* Thunar File Manager
|
||||
* GIMP
|
||||
* Gnumeric
|
||||
* Text Editor
|
||||
* Terminal
|
||||
* Catfish File Search
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This workload uses 1.07 GB of RAM, and the CPU is at 5%-7%.
|
||||
|
||||
The default installation of this distro uses 4 GB of disk space.
|
||||
|
||||
![Performance During Heavy workload State][13]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
We ran it through various Connectivity tests as outlined below. And it passed each of them except Bluetooth.
|
||||
|
||||
* Wifi detection and connection – works perfectly
|
||||
* It aligned correctly with multiple displays and resolution config (thanks to the pre-installed ARandR).
|
||||
* Auto-detection of USB (even in virtual machine mode) – works well
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There is no utility available for Bluetooth enable, discovery and connect (like some of the Xfce desktop flavours). So, if you install a utility, you should be all set.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Things that did not go well with CrunchBang++
|
||||
|
||||
In my opinion, this Linux distribution should be used by little experienced users who are okay to navigate around errors in Linux in general and comfortable using the terminal when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
I found some of the items that I think are required with default installations. There is no way to configure the Mouse, Keyboard in this distro. No utility is pre-installed. You can, however, tweak them via the terminal. You may need to install additional applications to configure those.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some bugs in the right-click menu with recent applications and some in the Nitrogen wallpaper changer. However, they are not a showstopper for your day to day usage.
|
||||
|
||||
So, overall I think it’s stable and can work well despite the missing pieces.
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary and Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
While wrapping up the CrunchBang++ review, I am compelled to say that it is one of the efficient and functional Linux distribution. It might not be the shiny and glittery desktop out there, but a stable and productive Linux Distribution that can run on any hardware. You can easily use it for your daily driver and keep on using it for years without formatting your entire system. A great piece of software from the people involved with CrunchBang++.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers.

CrunchBang++ Linux —— 极致轻量和稳定的 Linux 发行版本
|
||||
======
|
||||
**我们来回顾下基于 Debian 的、由 Openbox 驱动的轻量级 Linux 发型版本 Crunchbang++ Linux，并指导你如何使用它。**
|
||||
CrunchBang++ Linux 是已停止维护的 CrunchBang 项目的继承者。早期的 CrunchBang Linux 很受欢迎，因为它使用非常少的系统资源，对低端硬件也很友好。CrunchBang++ 也有一个 32 位的安装程序（现在很少见），可以在过时的硬件或 PC 上正常运行。
|
||||
|
||||
在我们之前的文章 [顶级轻量级Linux发行版][1] 中，有读者评论想让我们介绍 CrunchBang++。因此，我们想从性能、可访问性和其他因素等方面对这个超级轻量级的 Linux 发行版做一个深入的研究。让我们深入了解一下。
|
||||
|
||||
### CrunchBang++ Linux 回顾
|
||||
|
||||
![CrunchBang++ Linux Desktop with Openbox][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### LIVE 媒体和安装
|
||||
|
||||
目前为止，CrunchBang++ 基于最新的 Debian 11 Bullseye，并提供 32 位和 64 位 ISO 程序。你可以从 [官方网站][3] 下载。本文中我们使用 64 位的安装程序。64 位安装程序的大小为 1.6 GB，与当今流行的 Linux 发行版的 ISO 大小相比，是很小的。例如，最新的 Ubuntu 64 位桌面 ISO 就很大，已经超过了 3.2 GB。
|
||||
|
||||
安装程序的启动菜单提供了测试 LIVE 镜像和启动安装的选项。你可以先从 LIVE 镜像开始。但是，你不能从媒体安装 LIVE！相反，你必须再次启动并选择安装选项。Live 桌面的用户 ID 和密码都是 "live"。
|
||||
|
||||
![Installation in the boot menu][4]
|
||||
|
||||
在物理机和虚拟机（[virt-manager][5]）上的安装都很顺利。CrunchBang++ 使用 Debian 的原生安装程序，这有点复杂。但你可以按照屏幕上的指示轻松地安装它。如果你不熟悉 Debian 安装程序，你可以参照我们的 [Debian 安装指南][6]。
|
||||
|
||||
在虚拟机和物理系统上安装过程平均需要约 5 到 10 分钟。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 桌面初窥
|
||||
|
||||
CrunchBang++ 给你经典的 Openbox 窗口管理器体验。登录屏幕出乎意料的干净和完美，只有输入凭证的选项。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你是第一次运行它，一个欢迎脚本会引导你检查网速，更新你的系统，等等。
|
||||
|
||||
![The welcome script][7]
|
||||
|
||||
The Openbox itself is fast and clean. The desktop brings a clean look with its pre-configured SBPP Openbox theme with the following components –
|
||||
|
||||
Openbox 本身是快速和干净的。桌面以其预先配置的 SBPP Openbox 主题带来了一个整洁的外观，其组件如下：
|
||||
|
||||
* [gmrun][8] 一个轻量的应用程序启动器
|
||||
* [Tint2][9] 桌面顶层的控制面板
|
||||
* [dmenu][10] 动态菜单系统
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
你可以通过右键菜单的简单配置选项来配置它们。
|
||||
默认情况下，可以通过顶部面板切换两个工作区。顶部面板也有基本的托盘图标以满足你的需要。
|
||||
|
||||
* 音量控制
|
||||
* 网络连接
|
||||
* 语言工具
|
||||
* 电量监控
|
||||
* 粘贴板管理
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
作为一个窗口管理者，你没有一个应用程序视图。但有了 gmrun 应用程序启动器，启动任何应用程序都超级容易。当你需要启动任何应用程序时，Openbox 右键菜单会给你所有的选项。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 可用的应用程序
|
||||
|
||||
CrunchBang++ 只包括最低限度的应用程序，以保持 ISO 和安装的轻便。以下是预装的应用程序。
|
||||
|
||||
* GIMP
|
||||
* Thunar 文件管理器
|
||||
* Catfish 文件搜索
|
||||
* Gnumeric
|
||||
* VLC Media Player
|
||||
* Filezilla
|
||||
* 远程桌面客户端
|
||||
* Transmission Torrent Client
|
||||
* Screenshot 工具
|
||||
* Geany 文本编辑
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
请参照：基于最新的 Deepin 桌面的发行版本 ExTiX 21.1
|
||||
|
||||
强大的 Synaptic 软件包管理器会满足你所有的软件需求。LibreOffice 不是默认安装的，所以你需要单独安装它。没有用于集中设置的工具，所以有时你可能会觉得缺少一个设置管理器。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 性能和资源占用情况
|
||||
|
||||
CrunchBang++ 的性能对于轻量级发行版来说是完美的。
|
||||
|
||||
这个发行版使用 585 MB 的 RAM，空闲状态下 CPU 为 1%。如果你让系统在非活动状态下运行一个小时或更长时间，RAM 会进一步减少到 350 MB 左右。这是一个令人印象深刻的指标。
|
||||
|
||||
![Performance During Idle State][12]
|
||||
|
||||
为了测试繁重的工作负载，我们在 CrunchBang++ 中打开了以下应用程序的一个实例：
|
||||
|
||||
* Firefox 两个标签页
|
||||
* Thunar 文件管理器
|
||||
* GIMP
|
||||
* Gnumeric
|
||||
* 文本编辑器
|
||||
* 终端
|
||||
* Catfish 文件搜索
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
整个工作负载占用 RAM 1.07 GB，CPU 占用为 5% - 7%。
|
||||
|
||||
这个发行版的默认安装占用 4 GB 的硬盘空间。
|
||||
|
||||
![Performance During Heavy workload State][13]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 连接
|
||||
|
||||
我们对它进行了下面列出的各种连接性测试。除了蓝牙，它通过了每一项测试。
|
||||
|
||||
* Wifi 探测和连接 —— 完美通过测试
|
||||
* 它在多个显示器和分辨率配置下能正确对齐（由于有预装的 ARandR）
|
||||
* 自动探测 USB（即使在虚拟机模式下） —— 正常通过测试
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
没有任何实用程序可用于蓝牙的启用、发现和连接（有点像 Xfce 桌面）。所以，如果你安装了一个实用程序，你应该都能搞定。
|
||||
|
||||
#### CrunchBang++ 的一些缺点
|
||||
|
||||
在我看来，这个 Linux 发行版应该由没有什么经验的用户来使用，他们在 Linux 中一般都能通过查阅资料解决错误，并且在需要时能自如地使用终端。
|
||||
|
||||
我还发现了一些我认为是默认安装（而没有安装）的。在这个发行版中没有办法配置鼠标、键盘。没有预装任何工具。然而，你可以通过终端对它们进行调整。你可能需要安装额外的应用程序来配置这些。
|
||||
|
||||
在最近的应用程序的右键菜单和 Nitrogen 壁纸更换器中有些 bug。然而，对于你的日常使用来说，它们并不是一个障碍。
|
||||
|
||||
所以，总的来说，我认为它很稳定，尽管有缺失，但可以很好地工作。
|
||||
|
||||
### 概括和总结
|
||||
|
||||
在结束对 CrunchBang++ 的回顾时，我不得不说它是一个高效和实用的 Linux 发行版。它可能不是一个闪闪发光的桌面，但它是一个稳定的、生产级的 Linux 发行版，可以在任何硬件上运行。你可以很容易地把它作为你的日常驱动，并在不格式化你的整个系统的情况下使用它多年。CrunchBang++ 是贡献者们创造出的伟大的软件。
