Is Merkuro the same thing as Kalendar?

The Wikipedia link you provide here for copyleft does not say that permissive licenses are a subset of copyleft licenses, but rather contrasts the two categories. For example, you can scroll down to the table at "Types and relation to other licenses," where you can see MIT is not in the green Copyleft column.

If you check Wikipedia's Copyleft software licenses category, you'll see MIT is absent.

The Wikipedia link you provide for permissive states:

The Open Source Initiative defines a permissive software license as a "non-copyleft license . . .

No, I don't. I don't know the strict definition of copyleft, so I went to the source you indicated to get a better understanding. And the phrase I found there:

Unlike copyleft software licenses, the MIT License . . .

certainly indicates that the MIT License is not copyleft.

También: Siduction (derivada de Debian Sid), Alpine (Edge), Solus, Chimera Linux, OpenMandriva ROME, Gentoo/Funtoo/Exherbo, y otros en la familia de openSUSE (?).

I checked the wiki page you kind of linked, and the third sentence is:

Unlike copyleft software licenses, the MIT License also permits reuse within proprietary software, provided that all copies of the software or its substantial portions include a copy of the terms of the MIT License and also a copyright notice.

No unfortunately I haven't tried Chimera yet, but its design is close to my ideal distro. I'd especially love to see its package repos fill up, but the selection is tight as it stands.

Just clarifying in case there's a mix-up: Siduction is a desktop distro based on Debian Sid, not exactly the same distro. It's my favorite take on Debian so far but honestly I always have something to grumble about in apt-world.

I just want to add that for Debian with a rolling, up-to-date experience, Siduction does that nicely.

APK/Alpine is great! And the Edge repos are well stocked.

Chimera Linux seems to be using even newer apktools than Alpine, not sure what the deal with that is. But that distro is still in early stages with limited repos for now.

Pacman/makepkg/Arch is great too, and an obvious consideration for your usage, curiously omitted from your post.

What's the idea behind installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, uninstalling... all the time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oooh wee, great, thanks!

Usually "global hotkeys" just means using a hotkey from any app. Is that what you mean?

To be clear, the trouble I'm hoping to overcome is the window manipulation, without using wmctrl, x11-utils, or xdotool.
