Found an obscure #Linux #distro #side that appears to be unique. That is, makes its own toolchain, which is what crazy from #frugalware said defines a base distro. Side uses #pisi package manager, #sysvinit and features #LXDE based #SDE with #pekwm or #openbox window manager.
These odd little distros generally help #inxi find and handle corner cases it had missed. In this case didn't have pisi pm/SDE handled.
Wish I'd noticed side before inxi 3.3.37 went out but this always happens.
The main reason that I stopped using terminal emulators with tabs was that I used a window manager with tabs (my first was #pekwm).
Suddenly a single window can have two terminal tabs and a pdf reader as the third tab.
Tiling window managers with tabbed containers are essentially the same concept.
Had some fun this weekend installing Spiral Linux (https://spirallinux.github.io/) Builder edition on my old MacBook Pro 11 with debian sid + pekwm (which is a new WM for me). I still enjoy doing these from-the-ground-up installs. Certainly beats grading or writing.
Added 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝟭 to FreeBSD Desktop – Part 4 – Key Components – Window Manager article about why I moved from Fluxbox to Openbox … or why I did not used PekWM. I them around 2010 and 8 years later they are still true.
