    zoxide. It’s a fabulous cd replacement. It builds a database as you navigate your filesystem. Once you’ve navigated to a directory, instead of having to type cd /super/long/directory/path, you can type zoxide path and it’ll take you right to /super/long/directory/path.

    I have it aliased to zd. I love it and install it on every system

    You can do things like using a partial directory name and it’ll jump you to the closest match in the database. So zoxide pa would take you to /super/long/directory/path.

    And you can do partial paths. Say you’ve got two directories named data in your filesystem.

    One at /super/long/directory/path1/data

    And the other at /super/long/directory/path2/data

    You can do zoxide path2 data and you’ll go to /super/long/directory/path2/data

    Edit: I’m an idiot and forgot kinoite is immutable.

    Edit 2: Another option after the flatpak that @that_leaflet@lemmy.world mentioned, would be the nix package manager. This would be much more complicated than the flatpak, but if for some reason the flatpak didn’t work for you, this is another route you could take.

    If you want the GUI app, you’ll need to add their repo. Instructions are here

    It’s a gnome app so you’ll end up with some gnome dependencies with it.

    Alternatively you could just use network manager in KDE. You’d need to log in to the protonvpn website and download configuration profile(s) for the connections you want to use and then add them in network manager. After that you should be able to connect from the network system tray icon.

    Finally you could install the wireguard command lime tool with:

    sudo dnf install wireguard-tools

    You’ll still need to download (wireguard) configuration files from proton, and then add them to /etc/wireguard.

    Once the configuration files are in the directory you can connect with:

    sudo wg-quick up proton

    Where proton is the name of the configuration file for the connection you want to use.

    I looked at it and did some reading of others experiences, and it looked like a huge pain. I opted for Joplin and haven’t looked back. I self host Joplin server for sync via docker and it’s rock solid.

    I love that the client is available on any platform. Is the client a little ugly, and clunky? Yes, but for me it’s not so ugly and clunky that I’ll give up a fully open source self hosted e2ee notes solution.

    I’ve been self hosting Joplin in some form for something like six years. Once a year or so I scope out the other options and as of yet I haven’t found another notes solution that I’m willing to switch to.

    My most used:

    • self hosted Matrix server with Element client
    • Jellyfin server and clients
    • self hosted Radicale server for my family calendars
    • self hosted Joplin server with the Joplin app on all my machines and devices for my notes
    • Navidrome
    • Firefox
    • tasks.org with my self hosted nextcloud
    • all the fossify apps on my phone
    • audiobookshelf server and client
    • GNU/Linux (various distros across different machines)
    • Voyager for Lemmy

    There’s a bunch more that I can’t think of that I use, but the above list is the stuff I rely on and use every day.
