Is it just me or does he really sound like William S Burroughs?

And that is how the Bunsenlabs Helium startup sound was born

@Hoas, Indeed he does, just 20 years younger than what I'm used to hearing...

^ And may I say, these recent posts on the subject are an example of the best of Internet forums.

Maybe the devs too lazy to sent application to be listed at Distrowatch :s
#!++ is a one-person project and it releases only one version, usually shortly after the release of Debian. Occurring problems (due to the fast release) are then solved on demand via reddit.
/edit:
The reason computermouth (the developer) can release so quickly is certainly that he does not make any additional changes. The look & feel of #!++ is almost identical to the original #!. Same wallpaper, same applications, etc. etc. etc. Just Debian+Openbox.

^ BunsenLabs takes more time to develop than a distribution with a single clear project leader because every decision has to be considered and approved by not only the developers but also the entire community, I actually consider this to be a strength of our distribution.

I don't mean that as a comparison between BL and #!++. Just an explanation why #!++ can release so fast.

...which is one of the biggest strengths of BL. I came here, pointed out some small idea and after some straightfoward discussion it was implemented. That's very low barriered and really satisfying!

It's not actually a review, but #BĹ is on the list:

Not a review, but Jessie at DistroWatch kindly responded to my email informing DW of our Helium release and added us to the announcements there...
https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=10193
As expected, the announcement is spiking our page-hit ranking there (for the last month, up from 170-something to 29 in 4 days, and in 8th place for trending in the last week ).

Of course, our announcement is also mirrored on Planet Debian Derivatives...

A new video overview, he was going to do a quick one but was intrigued enough that it went over 30 minutes. He also checked out BLOB, thankfully he figured it out!

The spike continues, we've entered the homepage rankings at #99 (scroll down the right column)...

DistroWatch appear to be seeding our torrent this week:

It's a nice thought but clearly they didn't check before hosting it — my 80Mb connection is *always* saturated by our community

^ that's the one from october last year and i'm pretty sure we shredded them back then.
here are the highlights from the article:
right-click anywhere, and you have the menu, but not in any one fixed position. I probably hit the browser icon a dozen times mistakingly, and this is ultra-annoying. No easy or obvious way to add the menu
Now, to begin with, you actually have to install printer support, as it's not there by default.
Frustrating in its inefficiency.
I did not download Debian, I downloaded BunsenLabs and the whole do-not-break should be part of the system configuration not a user's responsibility.
Why is the would-be panel called Tint2? How's that relevant? Also, why is there no way to automatically pin new application shortcuts?
etc.
what a stubborn person.
one almost feels sorry for dedoimedo, who's been doing these reviews for a decade or so and still demands handholding, not knowing how to edit a config file or read a man page.
well, to each their own.

that [redacted]
Erm, can we try to be nice, please?
I certainly would not describe that reviewer as a "[redacted]" and I thank them for their feedback.

^ Yes, please remain civil. Name call in Off Topic, if you must rant. And yes, we did shred that review.

ok, i removed the name-calling.
my statement remains the same however.
for me there's no way of being thankful for such superficial and opinionated "reviewing".
