After a long hiatus

Greetings all,

It's been perhaps a decade since I last used bunsenlabs, but a few of you might remember me from the #! days as g33zr. After corenominal recommended that we go with vanilla Debian, I followed suit, but then lapsed into distrohopping Inevitably, I always returned to Debian. Instead of reinstalling Debian with Openbox, I decided to give  BL Carbon a spin with VM and liked it so much, I installed it on Laptop 2 and may install it soon on laptop 1 as my daily driver.

I also use Debian stable as my daily OS, and carbon is a great Openbox version of that. Welcome again!

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Good to hear that the more things change in the rest of the world, the more they stay the same in other Places...such as BL. It feels refreshing to be back, I missed this community and its vibes.

@F3
^^eh, if that's you (g33zr), then I missed you a lot too. 
If I'm correct, I had already asked @S11 in the last 2(?) years, but we just couldn't come up with the nickname. 

I love your comments.   Welcome back! I still remember your study. It was one of the tidiest...
