Conversation
Add a Linux (X11) platform layer mirroring the win32/macos interface so the Rust/iced rewrite builds and runs on Linux. - src/linux.rs: X11 window focus + synthetic paste (XTEST) via x11rb; keyboard input by translating iced key events into HookKeyEvent (no global hook needed); cursor/screen queries and geometry. - Show/hide the window through iced's window commands (set_mode/move_to/ gain_focus) so winit actually renders it — mapping the window directly via X11 leaves the transparent window unrendered and invisible. - Gate the system tray off on Linux (tray-icon pulls GTK, which does not co-exist with the winit/iced event loop) and add a Settings -> Exit button as the quit affordance. - Cargo.toml: x11rb (xtest feature) for Linux; tray-icon restricted to non-Linux targets.

Configuration was stored under %APPDATA%, which is unset on Linux and macOS and silently fell back to the current working directory, so settings did not persist reliably. - Resolve the config directory per-platform: %APPDATA% on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support on macOS, and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (or ~/.config) on Linux. - Implement launch-at-startup on Linux via an XDG autostart entry at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/flemozi.desktop (created on enable, removed on disable). Windows keeps its Start Menu shortcut; macOS is a no-op for now (needs a LaunchAgent). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a Linux (X11) platform layer so Flemozi builds and runs on Linux (previously Windows/macOS only).
