Bunsenlabs on non-systemd Debian (antiX19)

If you want to work with, or play around with, BunsenLabs (BL) on a non-systemd Debian platform, here is a method by which you can install BL on antiX19. (Later, I'll move things over to Bullseye...)

Thanks Mark for the write-up.
Used a fresh antiX-19.3-amd64 and installed bunsen-meta-all as per your guide. It worked flawlessly.
With clipit, update-notifier and bluetooth disabled at startup. my Bunsenlabs system is idling at ~275mb.
(It does feel a bit odd though, to kill the 'soul' of the host (antiX) by cutting most of its window managers and orphaned applications...)

Very nice tutorial! Thank you:) My "todo" list of fun stuff is growing beyond my time to try them! Mark another one down.

Mmm this should be nice to try out, and maybe go out on a limb to upgrade this to Sid monkey

FWIW... the same thing actually works on MXLinux 19.4 (I tested that yesterday). As for sid, I think you'll find it breaks because of all the old software used in BL. It will work once Bullseye is out. If you are niggling things at a very detailed level you will find that BL embeds a few systemd dependencies that are not addressed by my tutorial. You will need to fix them to your liking if you want them to work.

On another note... I did a quick fix on a rofi theme for any who want to use it. It sort of looks like Lithium now...

Here's a patch (replacement script) for bl-exit that you can place in tint2.... the short-cut Super+x is one of those systemd probs...

yad --center --borders=1 --on-top --sticky --single-click --title='Logout Options' \
	--buttons-layout=center \
	--window-icon="gtk-quit: exit" \
