The project home page.

The Github

Looks just like VS Code and I think it's still built on electron so take that as you will.

Give zed.dev a try. I’ve been using it over vscode more and more. Lots faster too

Their client is only on MacOS though.

Although no official release is available yet, Linux is buildable from source…

From what I see on github, there are major issues for Linux.

I am already fighting poorly designed vendor tools, adding one more unstable software in my workflow is just more frustrations.

Is that the Mac only one?

I believe Linux is close. Not seen anything re windows yet

Thanks. I remember one of these had people being excited about it and I felt bad that I couldn't try it. But Linux is hard and we are all so grumpy. I get it.

You can compile it yourself to run it on Linux. You will need to install some dependencies and there are still some issues. For example; my monitors kept disconnecting when the application was open.

Isn’t it closed source?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nope. It’s all available on GitHub
