#! The End.  CrunchBang distro development stops.

@DomainBob I hate you so much for bringing me the sad news.

Laptop and desktops: CrunchBang Waldorf.

Main desktop: Antergos (I know! Arch beautifully packaged)

Any good alternatives to Crunchbang?  I was sad when I saw the news about stopping development.

I've been using Xbuntu lately on my laptop but I miss crunchy  Mint was a bit bloated last time I had tried it, I'd rather have something lightweight/functional rather than pretty.

I am with you on this new OS need.  Mint is hit or miss for me.  Upgrade stream and new install historically turned me off.

I am running Debian and Xubuntu and love/hate with both.  Feel like I am stagnant and pile of software and approaches are dated.  I like Crunch up front because some new tools I and others found from it, plus really light.

There is ArchBang  http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

I've never serious tried Arch myself but I'd really prefer to stick with something Debian based, as I  :wub:  apt

I really liked Crunchbang's status/shortcut bar, I realize that I can create something like that on any distro but it's was a nice pre-made feature.

I'll probably end up sticking with Xubuntu for now as it's reasonably lightweight and gets the job done.

Forever Gentoo. If only it could play league of legends on my home PC natively i'd have it instead of Windows

Fedora 21 Xfce. Mostly I like the great selection of apps/packages ready to go. I had Arch on my Pi, which, aside from trouble setting up the wireless adapter each time I did a reinstall, worked very well. I'll be adding Arch to my next fresh install.

Xubuntu.

Gentoo is my favorite OS.
