Calcurse como alternativa Linux a Calendar
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Calcurse is a functional but starkly different replacement for GNOME Calendar. It handles the core scheduling tasks: viewing events in month, week, and day views, and managing appointments. However, it is a terminal-based application, so it lacks the graphical polish and system-wide notification integration that desktop users expect. It is best suited for power users, developers, or anyone comfortable with keyboard-driven workflows who prioritizes speed and low resource usage over visual convenience. If you rely heavily on graphical drag-and-drop or system pop-ups, you will find the transition difficult.

GNOME Calendar typically stores data in local SQLite databases or syncs via Evolution Data Server. Calcurse uses simple, human-readable text files. There is no direct import button. You would need to export your events from GNOME Calendar to an .ics file and then use a script or manual conversion to map that data into Calcurse's specific text format, which is not a seamless process.
Pasar de Calendar a Calcurse, paso a paso
- Export your events from GNOME Calendar to an .ics file.
- Install Calcurse via your package manager (e.g., apt, pacman, dnf).
- Run Calcurse once to generate the default configuration and data directory.
- Use a conversion script or manually parse the .ics file to create entries in Calcurse's text data files.
- Configure Calcurse to display multiple calendars with distinct colors if desired.

Cómo instalar Calcurse en Linux

Will I get pop-up notifications when an event starts?
Not natively. Calcurse runs in the terminal. You can configure it to print a message to the terminal, but it does not hook into the desktop notification system like GNOME Calendar does.
Can I sync with Google Calendar?
Not directly. Calcurse does not have built-in iCal subscription or sync capabilities. You would need to use a third-party script or tool to sync an iCal feed into Calcurse's local text files.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Probably not. If you are new to Linux and prefer mouse-driven interfaces, Calcurse's text-based layout and keyboard-centric navigation may feel intimidating compared to the graphical simplicity of GNOME Calendar.
