So they've had a major release last year in December. And their official website seems to be up. Though, I only had luck connecting to it through Tor 😅. It's still active according to Distrowatch. And, honestly, the reader reviews ain't that bad. I'd say give it a spin and consider reporting back on us 🙂.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're my damn hero of the day! I haven't checked their site in years! Maybe should've gave it a search before asking... Thank You! I'm definitely gonna try it out! And I'll definitely let the Linux thread know how it's going Again, thank you!
Also, if you're the bleeding-edge kind, you can always try their beta ISOs. They released a beta of their next major version "Boron" only last week: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bunsenlabs-releases/
So it's definitely still under active development.
I was just reading up on that very thing. I may have a chance to try it one evening this week.
The name rings a bell. Iirc there's a distro that may have followed in its footsteps.
BunsenLabs itself was a distro that was supposed to be in the spirit of an older discontinued distro, CrunchBang. There was another distro inspired by CrunchBang, CrunchBang++. Not sure exactly how active CB++ is, but there is a version out based on Debian 12, and from what I remember they seem decent and keeping up with Debian at least.
Yeah! I remember Crunch#. It's how I found BunsenLabs. Always had really great documentation forums, too. Tried the ++, just liked BunsenLabs better.
Oh maybe I had them mixed up.
Bunsen is so lightweight, I use it on my T40. Still around, and still good.
