Ha! I was supposed to install BL on the a similar device. Trouble is, I have the 64GB Go 2, so cannot have both Win11 and another OS. Happy to remove Win11 and just have BL on it. Is this what you did?
I have tried Bunsenlabs Linux on an ancient HP computer with a Pentium 4 "630" CPU, and it worked great. Openbox (or Fluxbox) may look "exotic" and not very inviting to use, but it is not that hard to "learn" to configure. I am currently not running Bunsenlabs, but I am keeping it in mind as a possible Linux distro.
Hey Veronica! Great content! It's my first time viewing your channel today and I'm glad I came by it today! Absolutely great content and I love the way you present it in a very refreshing and honest vibes! Absolutely valuable for someone like me who's currently re-learning all about linux again!
Spot on Veronica, for not inserting an ad after 10 sec's. I must have killed hundreds of vids that hit me with an ad so early. Right then, right there! Do they think that I'm that hard-up for content that I can mostly find everywhere? (Not your videos by the way, like your online guides they are easy to understand, helpful and fresh. So, thanks!)
As a fan of both BL and CB++ of course I'd like to see a comparison video! My favorite of the two is still CB++, it is more lightweight and is a lot more like the original CB.. while BL feels more experimental with each release and comes with some other features.
I tried to install it on an old laptop I hang onto to mess around with while I was watching the replay. I couldn't get it to boot off the internal SSD. This is a laptop I've successfully ran Arch (vanilla, not Manjaro), Slackware, FreeBSD, and several other operating systems on. Time for a CB++ video @Veronica Explains?
I loved Crunchbang Linux. It was the first GNU/Linux OS that I really mads my own. I copnfigured the hell out of it and was miserable as hell when it died it's death. I never took to Bunsen Labs for some reason..
I looked into the differences between Administered and Administrated and I think they're correct in their use of Administrated but both are reasonable to use. They more or less mean the same thing but Administrated is more often used in the overseeing of operations or functions of an organization or system. Administering something generally implies a more hands-on connotation, as in they are doing it in person (e.g. administering medication). Sorry, you got me curious and I had to look up what the distinction was
I dislike the words that add "rat" in place of "er" just on aesthetic grounds. However some folk do defend "administrated" specifically when some by someone whose role or job title is "administrator", rather than the administrative being merely a part of a wider role Your example of a nurse as administering meds to a patient might be an example of this, whereas those who defend the term administrate would use that if the fact that a charge nurse is the designated administrator of a whole ward. Personal I still don't like it, but don't hate it sufficiently to rock the boat of it's someone else's usage. There are better things to worry about, unless as here someone specifically raises the question. Thank you for doing so, and for your research 😊
@@trueriver1950sure, but you're talking about preference and I'm talking about common usage. I don't know if I have a preference to be honest. Maybe administrated if forced to choose
I am excited by this. #! Has been my goto distro for many years, and has been the only distro so close to my own previous configuration of Ubuntu (#! Was originally based of it) .. Thank you for mentioning BunsenLabs ❤ I have some installing and testing to do!!
Some kind of a video grabber that is able to show the boot process would be a nice advantage. You just plug the grabber into USB port in the machine where you are streaming with OBS or other software for streaming. Connect the HDMI cable to grabber and to a machine that you are booting up and that's it.
I personally always allocate the entire drive for /, as i've had issues in the past with running out of space for applications if i over-allocate for /home and under-allocate for the rest, but would like to spend some time distro-hopping without losing my stuff.. curious what you / the community does with it..
Great video! As for the recommendations, I've watched some Action Retro videos occasionally (the last one was about Debian on a Mac G4) but I hadn't subscribed. I'm not much of a subscriber, to tell the truth, but he deserves reaching 100k. And you've earned a new sobscriber, too!
administered is indeed a word, you use it when you give some someone medicine. A doctor administers you the medicine. It is not related to Administration, which is the root you're looking for. The Administrator administrates a number of servers. Yesterday, she administrated the servers. The more common word, however, is "managed"
I use fluxbox as my desktop of choice. Started with 0.1.14 on Slackware and switched to MX Linux fluxbox in 2021. 23 years later I still get a kick out of pulling up my root menu anywhere on the desktop with a simple right click of the mouse. 🐧
Really enjoyed this! I used Openbox for many years, before switching to Cinnamon and then Plasma. I've started to use tiling in Plasma, but it's not quite flexible enough, so I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing about how you get on with Sway! Very temped to buy an IODD ST400 now. Would be very handy! Also, completely agree on what you said about Bitwig and Ardour. I actually used Ardour for podcast editing for a few years and felt that it was the perfect fit, but Bitwig wins for music. With some WINE shenanigans (yabridge) it even works well with the handful of Windows VSTs (XLN Audio, Spitfire Labs) that I've tried.
I started linux using CB as my first distro, and still plodding on with Bunsenlabs, I won't give it up. Its the one I've been going back to for over 15 years. Its minimalism at its best.
I use Easy2Boot on a 64Gb USB stick to test different OSes, and I have to admit that Ventoy is a fine choice for that. Not being an IT guy by nature, I value ease of use and keep both rescue tools and OSes handy on the stick and also bootable DVDs w external DVD burner. Linux distros are also getting better all the time and I appreciate the Unix system logic. My generic stick folds so that it has both USB-A and USB-C ends available - first I've seen so far, useful also. Nice vid!
I wonder if the creators of LabWC understand that in British English "WC" is an abbreviation / euphemism for "toilet" or the US "bathroom". 😢 Toilet Lab doesn't quite work as a name, I feel...
Great video so far. Chiming on on ventoy and agree. It's great, but I've had issues with server hardware over the years and often have to write a single ISO to a thumb drive as ventoy just fails in odd ways. Could you advise what the model is that you're using there, please? Thanks! Edit: DOH! I was impatient, sorry. You mention it's the IODD ST400.
The menu system in BunsenLabs reminds me of the MagicMenu utility program on the Amiga. I guess BeOS as well...? The ,1 in the load command LOAD "*",8,1 tells the C64 to load a binary file to the RAM address that was embedded in the file. Without the ,1 it loads the file to the top of BASIC's RAM area.
FYI Isenkram basically means hardware in Danish - I do believe the original developer of Isenkram is Danish (although I was unable to find a github page or anything for it).
Downloading the ISO right now, this might be good for my old modded Chromebook that I have Debian 12.4 Cinnamon running on it right now, always open to trying something different on that thing. Both of my desktops run Linux Mint LMDE6, which is based on Debian 12, I've been a long time Mint person, since 2011.
1:04:41/1:04:53/1:05:04 - oooh, I super look forward to hearing more about this experience and what you take away from it! Please do make this video when you’re ready to!
if its the same with crunchbang .. terminal might be my favorite Terminator .. on which you can do tiling things inside its window .. i stay in that terminal when on Xfce based distros ;D
33:37 Veronica is right ,8,1 means read start address from first two bytes of file instead of loading it into basic ram start address, usually used for Autostart or advanced memory layouts (and 8 is first disk drive)
I'm not watching live, but yes Veronica I can hear you. 😊 However the picture seems more grainy than usual: are you recording in a lower resolution? It may simply be y-t adjusting to poor bandwidth... in which case the issue is at my end
As a former Crunchbang user I think BunsenLabs seems to be the closer of the the two, I'm sure crunchbang plu plus is a good distro just feels like BunsenLabs captured the real "Ethos" of #!
I absolutely LOVE Ventoy and I have felt your pain with Ventoy. It works great 95% of the time. How does your device work with Secure Boot Bios / UEFI?
Hi! I followed Debian for several years but it didn't install on my machines, now with version 12 gnome it is awesome on my Dell Latitude E6540. On my workstation HP i have LMDE 6 Faye. From Portugal one more subscriber. Greetings
Tried it with dual linux boot, created mdadm problems on the other debian12 system, needed noresume in default grub in bunsenlab, BL does not have option to swap mouse buttons aka very primitive, could easily be incorporated into initial scripts ! Needs internet to install, which is a problem on my wifi only laptop
@30:22 Toward the end of Windows XP's run they had a few extra themes that I really liked. There was the bluer theme originally designed for Windows XP Media Center and also the orange and black theme that I really liked. They were all legit themes from Microsoft for XP.
Royale was the blue "glossier" theme you're thinking of, and Zune was the black theme, which was tied into Microsoft acquiring the brand from Creative. Themes could be slipstreamed into XP so that they were enabled automatically on a Windows XP install. I revisited this just a couple of weeks ago as I had to re-build my slipstreamed XP nlite ISO from about 16 years ago. Search for Royale Remixed theme, which is a collection of the themes, and doesn't require a uxtheme patcher.
Anyone know how to get a global menu like macos (menus in to top bar that change with the active window), on a debian-based distro... using an feature that is still maintained?
1GB RAM used in an Openbox live session? What the hail?! And it's 450MB for the 32-bit release, but htop says 230MB. Still a lot for openbox - not sure what's going on there (haven't looked).
In my "playtest" (QEMU VM, to be fair) with Debian 12 RC3 32-bit last year I had 167MB of RAM usage with openbox, lxpanel and Task Manager open. I didn't customize anything, or compile stuff, just a netinstall and manual install of xorg, lightdm and bare minimum for a graphical session. I themed it and used a wallpaper, so it could at least look appealing, but only 1440x900. Maybe Conky was doing a bit more work on Bunsenlabs, and maybe something else. Thanks for your reply. :) I should try Conky in my Debian VM, I see I still have it.
Ok, so the default Conky reports 379MB RAM usage. I fired up Task Manager and that reports 177MB RAM, while Conky went up to 385MB. Really inconsistent memory reporting. :) But at least htop and Task Manager are quite close to each other in their reporting. The VM certainly requires less RAM due to less loaded drivers compared to bare metal installs, so there's that too. Thanks for trying and reminding me of Bunsenlabs. I got excited when they carried CrunchBang's torch along with Crunchbang++. I just noticed the latter has lower RAM usage with Debian Bookworm, so I have another one to try now. And it reminds me of the defunct Semplice Linux - that was minimalistic but very cute and cozy too.
About 5 years ago I remember encountering a Linux distribution full of configured window managers (10+ I think). Of course it's discontinued now, but I can't remember the name, does anyone know what it was called?
You mean in BLOB? If not, BLOB is BL's theme manager and you got a good selection to choose from. I don't know if Veronica missed BLOB or forgot to show it. Best way to learn Openbox is to play around with it!
@@OpenBASED Ah, I just wanted a solid black wallpaper. Found a way, by putting an image in ~/Pictures/wallpapers. Still, this was some work to do a most ordinary thing. Yes, the Openbox / BLOB themes are pretty. In the end, I just want to get-r-done quickly.
Load "x", 8,1 The 8 meant the device type The 1 meant you loaded from the first device in the chain.. But most people didn't think because there most people used only one drive. But you could daisy chain the drives and at least according to older document could have more than one device chain.
i was window usser i have switch to linux mint last year and all my hardware and window drives work i love it , but i have tryed to install clamav 3 times difftent ways do you any ideas i love your videos doing good
I absolutely love Debian but unfortunately a downside to Debian is a lack of new hardware support. I had to upgrade my graphics card because of problems i was having independent from Debian but then Debian couldn't support the new card. I found the solution would mean doing things that would, in my view, make Debian less stable and reliable so i switched to Fedora. But i still absolutely love Debian and don't fault it because it's explicitly not about adopted newer stuff the moment it comes out so I'll just install it on my older system I'm setting up as a NAS
What prompts me to even try any dristro of linux or any software for that matter is if they have their own wiki and forum.... Discord is private servers mostly that you have to subscribe to and most times must wait for approval to join and makes it difficult to find a key piece of information if your in a time crunch.... I've run into that on several tech calls
People all concerned about AI in technology when they should be concerned about AI being used in Government and Law Enforcement. That is where AI is going to be terrifying.
As bunsenlabs uses unpatched Debian, the only things that would need to be recompiled would be the additional things that bunsenlabs has added. Debian is not ideal for some versions of the pi due to the Debian choice of optimisation: that's why Raspbian was initially launched back in the day. However it will work. You could also try using the Raspbian plus the extras: but you're more likely to find issues appearing.
I only remember one thing about crunch bang; its extreme toxic forum community. it was horrible. I hope it has changed since then. If not,....that means the distro is the same.
@@VeronicaExplains Mmmm, CDE?. Is there any current distro/repo that I could use to bring this into my daily computer?. This brings memories from the time I spent on a Sun workstation 😋 Thinking a little bit more abut it, maybe there's a gnome extension that does exactly that, hehe. I need to look it up.
@@RocktCityTim Ahh, that brings even more memories :-) I think that the only piece of software that still remains alive from that stack is X11, in its current incarnation from Xorg.
No! Administrated is just about acceptable (though personally I dislike it). Inputted is just plain wrong grammatically. "Put" is already a past participle as well as being the infinitive of the same verb, and so is "input" which is simply "put" with a prefix. To say "inputted" is a grammatical mistake that is similar to saying "hadded" instead of "had", or saying "betterer" (unless trying to be funny, when it is the mistake that creates the humour).
Extra syllables in "administered" can be forgiven. Perhaps just trunk it to admin'd. Words that get my blood boiling are: over-exaggerate, impactful, and irregardless.
Life is better once you move away from Debian based distros imho, but thats just my person opinion. Arch, Gentoo, LFS, Slackware maybe not in that order lol
Discord is great because it doesn't pollute search engines with billions of pages of stuff that you will never look at that fill up a giant portion of your search results. We don't need 5 million results showing 5 million variations for every thing you search for all from various dates & years with no idea if the info is even relevant to today anymore.
I ran crunchbang on my old netbook back in the day. It really brought out the best in it.
You inspired me to install BunsenLabs Linux on my Microsoft Surface Laptop 2. It went as smooth as silk. I'm really enjoying it.

I think "administrated" is just because verbs got left off the American school curriculum, so they have to invent them as they're going along.
Fully agree on discord vs forum. The reference should be something like Arch wiki. So easy to find stuff there.

I found the solution would mean doing things that would, in my view, make Debian less stable and reliable so i switched to Fedora. But i still absolutely love Debian and don't fault it because it's explicitly not about adopted newer stuff the moment it comes out so I'll just install it on my older system I'm setting up as a NAS
which chrme os u recommend for PC
Also on a little pc I own I installed crunchbangpp, which is nice...
What prompts me to even try any dristro of linux or any software for that matter is if they have their own wiki and forum.... Discord is private servers mostly that you have to subscribe to and most times must wait for approval to join and makes it difficult to find a key piece of information if your in a time crunch.... I've run into that on several tech calls
Magic menu from the Amiga?
The closest thing to Openbox on Wayland is labwc.
Absurd or riculous don't apply if you are effective at what you are trying to accomplish anyway. Kudos!
Damn is Bunsenlabs still updated?
YES! PUBLIC FORUMS! Discord is great for chat 'n all, but give me a forum for open development and support any day!
Whomever makes that IOD drive should sponsor you, because now I want one....and I'm just a hobbyist.
Can not install from live
keep it nerdy
I came here for the Muppet show.
Ahh, now i know you're mint user.
I use Debian.
Wow this is random. I somehow got this in my suggestions I don't even own a computer.
Bookworm works on 6.1 kernel
I would love to subtitle for you!
hey great vids, pls review NIXOS pls
I second that. Most reviews are not well made, and assume a lot of knowledge to understand.
It's Memorex!
People all concerned about AI in technology when they should be concerned about AI being used in Government and Law Enforcement. That is where AI is going to be terrifying.
i want a bunsenlabs for raspberrypi ;)
As bunsenlabs uses unpatched Debian, the only things that would need to be recompiled would be the additional things that bunsenlabs has added.
Debian is not ideal for some versions of the pi due to the Debian choice of optimisation: that's why Raspbian was initially launched back in the day. However it will work.
You could also try using the Raspbian plus the extras: but you're more likely to find issues appearing.
there is a ubuntu for rpi5,
I only remember one thing about crunch bang; its extreme toxic forum community. it was horrible. I hope it has changed since then. If not,....that means the distro is the same.
You want minimal - Yggdrasil, X11R4, and TWM 👹. Go back to SunOS, SCO, and any Common Desktop Environment for the click-for-menu operation.
This is giving me an idea for a CDE video!
@@VeronicaExplains Mmmm, CDE?. Is there any current distro/repo that I could use to bring this into my daily computer?. This brings memories from the time I spent on a Sun workstation 😋
Thinking a little bit more abut it, maybe there's a gnome extension that does exactly that, hehe. I need to look it up.
@@juanjoitab because CDE was built on top of motif, you would need to find a way to update the open source lesstif platform.
@@RocktCityTim Ahh, that brings even more memories :-) I think that the only piece of software that still remains alive from that stack is X11, in its current incarnation from Xorg.
But administrated is is just as good as inputted. 🙃
No! Administrated is just about acceptable (though personally I dislike it). Inputted is just plain wrong grammatically.
"Put" is already a past participle as well as being the infinitive of the same verb, and so is "input" which is simply "put" with a prefix. To say "inputted" is a grammatical mistake that is similar to saying "hadded" instead of "had", or saying "betterer" (unless trying to be funny, when it is the mistake that creates the humour).
@@trueriver1950it's not just acceptable, it's correct.
Extra syllables in "administered" can be forgiven. Perhaps just trunk it to admin'd.
Words that get my blood boiling are: over-exaggerate, impactful, and irregardless.
1:04:37 It's just not possible to live without a search engine.
ok
Life is better once you move away from Debian based distros imho, but thats just my person opinion. Arch, Gentoo, LFS, Slackware maybe not in that order lol
i use arch btw
Really? I also did at one point, but then I grew up.
Discord is great because it doesn't pollute search engines with billions of pages of stuff that you will never look at that fill up a giant portion of your search results. We don't need 5 million results showing 5 million variations for every thing you search for all from various dates & years with no idea if the info is even relevant to today anymore.
apt install rofi
No wonder you're still pretty because of your Italian ancestors

Life is not a competition!
Because all Google/UA-cam cares is about $$$$ ;-)
