The LineageOS port for the FP6 is already well-underway and close to daily-drivable AFAIK. Support for iodéOS has also been announced as planned within 2025, which seems like a good alternative to Calyx.

20% is about the general order of magnitude we observed in FEX a while ago, though as you enable all TSO compatibility settings (including those rarely needed) it'll be much higher even. As people elsewhere in the thread mentioned it&#

You can think of it as replacing the space between words as wildcards, so `z lin lin` would indeed work to select the first one!

Adding to the other answer: You can also pass multiple keywords to zoxide and they are expected to match in order. So in your example, `z foo src` would reliably cd into `~src/foo/bar/src` even if `src/foo` has a higher

I don't use autojump, but glancing over its readme it's missing nushell integration that zoxide provides. It being a native binary instead of Python-based might also help it execute more instantaneously. Most Python-based CLI help

Perhaps helpful: There's also a `zi` command, which prompts you with a list of all matches before changing directories. Personally there's only few directories where I need it, and I just memorize using zi instead of z for those.

Semantic versioning is culturally widespread in Rust, so the problem of library authors being "less careful about API stability" rarely happens in practice. If pinned packages were the problem, I'd imagine they would have bee

Indeed, though not so much Linux but rather a Ubuntu-specific issue. Most (all?) other distributions don't distribute Firefox as a Snap, so screen sharing will work out of the box.
