About BunsenLabs Linux
BunsenLabs Linux continues the lineage of CrunchBang, a minimal distribution with a devoted following whose community rebuilt it on current Debian stable after the original wound down. The design has stayed recognizable: an Openbox window manager session with a tint2 panel, a conky status readout on the desktop, and a right-click menu for launching everything, all tuned to feel quick on limited hardware. Underneath sits ordinary Debian, so APT, deb packages, and Debian's documentation apply directly, while BunsenLabs layers on its own themes, helper scripts, and a post-install routine that fetches common extras. Releases track Debian's stable cycle rather than chasing new software. The audience is people who want a quiet, keyboard-friendly, distraction-free environment they can understand completely. Because it is rare to see Openbox configured this thoughtfully out of the box, opening a BunsenLabs VM through OpenFactory is the easiest way to experience the workflow.
All BunsenLabs Linux releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh BunsenLabs Linux virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean BunsenLabs Linux Latest default.
Questions about this target
Is this an official BunsenLabs Linux image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official BunsenLabs Linux media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean BunsenLabs Linux Latest default.
Can I get a customized BunsenLabs Linux instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
