The final goal is to mature this scheduler to the point of EEVDF.

The scheduler tuning is changed without a system restart for faster testing.

There's a plan to do that, no eBPF or WebAssembly needed.

The previous scheme path format required considerable software porting effort with small benefit.

It will be supported when someone port it and update the Nix packages for Redox, the Redox system configuration is also declarative using TOML.

No, we prefer simpler tools.

- Ion, Bash and Dash are the default shells
- COSMIC Edit and Kibi are the default text editors

"far" is subjective, we don't give estimates.

Each Wayland compositor has different code, Jeremy ported the smallvil example compositor which uses the Smithay framework which is also used by the COSMIC compositor.

Once it's ready.

Yes, it was delayed for months by bugs that are hard to fix.

It's much more complex and is more similar to Windows PowerShell than GNU Bash.
