It's the configurations that kept me on it for so long! Things just worked out of the box and it was amazing. I did a minimal install of arch + the necessary components once (and a netinst of Debian too) but it wasn't the same because my configurations never went deep enough. I always ended up getting frustrated having to do it all myself.
These days, I just use virtual machines when I need Linux, but I'd switch back to Crunchbang if multi monitor (one output from motherboard, one from gpu) worked better.
- joshuapants 12y agoThis is the thing people tend to miss, I think. There are a large number of people who don't like GNOME/KDE/Unity/whatever but who also don't want to take the time and effort to assemble the whole thing from pieces. I did the same thing with Arch, as well as with Void Linux. Void, in particular, is a distro I find very interesting and would like to use, but the hours I would spend making a usable desktop for myself (assuming I would even succeed, and prior experience has shown that not to be the case) are better spent elsewhere.
