Ubuntu or CrunchBang?

Ubuntu or CrunchBang is the question. I will try to help you decide this!


Ubuntu and CrunchBang are very similar to each other because CrunchBang is based off of Ubuntu. They each have their benefits and problems.

Why CrunchBang?


CrunchBang is a Debian GNU/Linux based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance.

If you are looking for a fast distro I advise using CrunchBang, it is built for speed. But it isn't the best when talking about user friendly, one of its downsides. When I got an old tower, it had little RAM. So I decided to try out Ubuntu on it, it lagged a lot and I need to find a alternative. I found CrunchBang, it was a great fit. It ran great and it did exactly what I wanted it for. So if you are looking for a fast distro pick CrunchBang.

Why Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a distro that is built for the user. Making it easy for the user to use it, much like Windows. If you are looking for an alternative to Windows and want a friendly UI I advise Ubuntu. But remember you must have a decent computer to run Ubuntu.

It all comes down to what works for you. If you are looking for speed then choose CrunchBang. If you want a user friendly system pick Ubuntu. Hope this helped you decision when choosing either one.
