oxidizr is a command-line utility for managing system experiments that replace traditional Unix utilities with modern Rust-based alternatives on Ubuntu systems.
It currently supports the following experiments:
By default, thecoreutils andsudo-rs experiments are enabled because they're the most complete, stable experiments. Others can be toggled using command line arguments shown below.
Warning
oxidizr is an experimental tool to help developers and tinkerers play with relatively new alternatives to core system utilities. It may cause a loss of data, or prevent your system from booting, so use with caution!
