Apart from things like:
* WiFi on my x230 in Wheezy doesn't work ootb, it does in Crunchbang.
* Install debian and openbox and you get a barely configured desktop without a panel, with no power management, no network applet, no decent fonts etc.
It takes a bunch of work to get Debian up to the level of Crunchbang, enough to put off novice users.
- novalis78 12y agoany suggestions besides Lubuntu and Xubuntu? Something that's closer to the simplicity and "just working" state of crunchbang?

- edwintorok 12y agoI haven't used crunchbang before, but having tried XFCE and MATE on Debian Jessie recently I have found MATE to provide a better experience. The only bug I've encountered is that taskbar icons don't work for Qt5 applications.
