It uses the OpenBox Window Manager with a very nice dark theme by default, and this makes it a great combination for a fast and low resource intensive installation. The Conky System monitor has the shortcut keys listed for common functions and tasks or you can access the menu with a right click on the desktop, or the super key. The only issue I had was with the Tor Browser installation which had an error forcing me to load it manually from the command line, but this is a Debian package issue and not the fault of BunsenLabs Linux. And since it&#8217;s based on Debian it works well with VMware Player and 3D acceleration. Consequently, I&#8217;m finding it enjoyable enough to use that I&#8217;ll keep it in the daily Linux rotation with Ubuntu KDE Plasma, Voyager Gnome, MX XFCE, Endeavour XFCE, and Manjaro XFCE. So if you want a throwback OpenBox Linux experience, fire up BunsenLabs Linux in a VM and give it a test drive as its a great little distro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"features\">Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The distribution consists of configuration and resource packages installed on top of Debian.
