[Openbox](http://openbox.org/wiki/Main_Page) 是一款适用于 Linux 的轻量级、可配置的窗口堆叠式管理器。它支持许多标准，适用于任何桌面环境。


可能让你惊讶的是，**LXDE 和 LXQT 桌面环境都是基于 Openbox 构建的**。你甚至可以用它替换桌面环境的窗口管理器。


当然，你几乎可以在任何 Linux 发行版上安装 Openbox。不过，配置它需要时间和精力。


一个更简单的方法是使用提供 Openbox 变种的发行版。在本文中，我列出了一些能够让你轻松体验 Openbox 的发行版。


**注意：** 列表按字母顺序排列，不代表排名。


### 1、Archcraft

如果你想体验 Openbox 窗口管理器，Archcraft 是一个不错的选择。不像其他发行版，Openbox 是这个发行版的默认桌面环境，所以你可以期待它的表现优秀。


它提供了一个精简且轻量的环境，只需不到 500MB 的内存即可运行，而且外观上也没有降级。其界面元素风格统一。


你可以通过简单点击来切换主题，如果你喜欢，它还提供了类似 Windows 的用户界面。


对于资深用户来说，它内置了对 AUR 和 Chaotic-AUR 的支持。与其他发行版不同的是，它提供了最佳的开箱即用体验。

如果你想学习 Arch（Arcolinux 项目的主要目标），ArcolinuxB Openbox 是一个非常优秀的 Linux 桌面发行版。


它是 ArcolinuxB 项目的众多变种之一。你可能会遇到一些学习曲线和不完善的地方。


与 Archcraft 不同，你在这里不会看到完全统一的界面元素，可能需要进行一些调整来获得良好的体验。

AV Linux MX Edition 是基于 MX Linux 的一个版本，使用 Openbox 作为窗口管理器。


它使用高性能的 [Liquorix 内核](https://liquorix.net/#features)，提供了音频方面爱好者所需要的低延迟。它还通过 Wine-staging 支持 Windows 音频。


如果你是一位音频专业人士并且使用 Linux，你可能想尝试一下这个发行版。对于一些用户来说，它可能显得臃肿，因为预装了许多应用程序。

BunsenLabs Linux 是一个基于 Debian 的发行版，提供了一个轻量且易于定制的 Openbox 桌面环境。该项目是 [CrunchBang Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrunchBang_Linux) 的分支。


它仍然基于 Debian 10，所以在软件仓库中你将获取到较旧版本的应用程序。然而，由于包含了硬件和多媒体支持，它具有相当好的开箱即用体验，与 Debian 不同。


它的界面与 Archcraft 类似，还提供了丰富的 Conky 配置选项。

正如其名字所示，Crunchbang++ 是 Crunchbang 的一个分支，并尽量保持与原版接近。


对于不了解的人来说，Crunchbang 是一个几乎在十年前停止开发的流行 Openbox 发行版。


Crunchbang++ 是一个极简且轻量级的发行版。它可能会让一些用户怀旧。它基于 Debian 11，相比 Bunsenlabs 可以提供更新的软件包。

由于使用了轻量级组件，它是一个极简且快速的系统。由于采用滚动更新机制，你还可以获得更新的软件版本。


该发行版的一些独特功能包括 Colorizer（根据壁纸更改强调颜色）、Quicktiling（用于轻松进行窗口平铺）和可定制的菜单/面板。这么多的定制化功能可能让一些极简主义者感到有些害怕。

OK
[Openbox](http://openbox.org/wiki/Main_Page) is a lightweight, configurable, stacking window manager available for Linux. It supports many standards making it a good fit for any desktop.

You will be surprised to know that **LXDE and LXQT desktop environments are built around Openbox**. You can even replace the window manager of your desktop environment with it.

Of course, you can install Openbox on almost any Linux distribution. However, configuring it takes time and effort.

An easier way out would to be to use a distribution that provides an Openbox variant. In this article, I list some distros that give you an out-of-the-box Openbox experience.

**Note:** The list is in alphabetical order and is not a ranking.

## 1. Archcraft

This is one of the exciting choices if you want to get your hands on the Openbox window manager. Openbox is the default desktop for the distro so you can expect it to be great unlike other distros.

It provides a minimal and lightweight environment as it can run under 500 MB without compromising the looks. The UI elements are cohesive.

You can switch themes with just a click. It also provides Windows like UI if you like that.

For power users it has built in support for AUR and Chaotic-AUR. Unlike any other distros, it provides the best out of box experience.

## 2. ArcolinuxB Openbox

It should be an excellent distro for your Linux desktop if you want to learn Arch (The main motive of Arcolinux project).

It is one of the many flavors of ArcolinuxB project. One can expect slight learning curve and rough edges.

You will not see cohesive UI elements as Archcraft here and it may need some tinkering to get a good experience.

## 3. AV Linux MX Edition

AV Linux MX Edition is based on MX Linux but with Openbox as the window manager.

It uses the high-performance [Liquorix Kernel](https://liquorix.net/#features) and provides low latency audio which is desired by audiophiles. It also has support for Windows Audio via Wine-staging.

You may want to try this out if you are an audio professional and a Linux user. It may seem bloated to some users, as it comes with many pre-installed apps.

## 4. Bunsenlabs Linux

BunsenLabs Linux is a Debian-based distribution offering a lightweight and easily customizable Openbox desktop. The project is a fork of [CrunchBang Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrunchBang_Linux).

It is still based on Debian 10, so you will get the older versions of apps in repos. However, it has quite a good out-of-box experience due to the inclusion of hardware and multimedia support, unlike Debian.

It has an interface as cohesive as Archcraft and also provides a great range of conky configurations.

## 5. Crunchbangplusplus

As the name suggests, it is a Crunchbang fork, and tries to stay as close as possible to the original.

For those unaware, Crunchbang was a popular Openbox distribution discontinued almost a decade ago.

Crunchbang++ is minimal and lightweight. It may make some users nostalgic. It is based on Debian 11, which can provide newer packages as compared to Bunsenlabs.

## 6. Mabox Linux

Mabox Linux is a modern Manjaro-based distribution that focuses on customization or ricing.

It is minimal and fast due to use of light components. You also get newer software due to rolling release.

Some of the exclusive features of this distro are Colorizer (changes accent colors according to wallpaper), Quicktiling(for easily tiling windows) and customizable menus/panels. This much customization may intimidate some minimalists.

## 7. Sparky Linux Openbox

Sparky Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution which also provides Openbox as an alternative desktop.

It has an edition with Debian Testing, which can be useful for users who need newer apps. It is focused on providing out of box experience for Debian and keeps the customization to users. Thus, you might not see that much eye candy here.

## Wrapping Up

There are several other Linux distributions on which you can install Openbox.

But, for this list, I have listed the ones which provide Openbox in live media and some of them have Openbox as their default desktop also.

What is your favorite Openbox distribution? Do you like it pre-customized or prefer to customize the yourself? Your suggestions are always welcome.
