  • planning to use some lightweight variants and alternatives of existing applications.
  • fix autologin for liveuser
  • patch namaste app, and provide alternate icon on desktop to initiate calamares.
  • add auto-detect sync-client icon (dropbox, megasync, pcloud) feature to polybar
  • keybindings for rofi, browser, start-menu and email client.

Note

All the new implementations will go through BETA versions.

For XFCE-Edition > Every month's 2nd week and 4th Week is when I will upload the files ( unless there is something broken and need immediate repair ).
For Gnome-Edition > it's going to be 1st and 3rd week of every month.

In the first ISO, which is BETA 1.0, calamares is broken.. I will soon remove that version 1. Calamares needs to be rebuilt everytime there's a new python update. Please use the new BETA 2.0 ISO for testing.
