In this episode of Zed Decoded, Thorsten talks to Mikayla, who’s been leading the effort to Zed working on Linux, about the Zed’s Linux version and how it’s taking shape

Is Zed a text editor?

It is a lifestyle.

So, it’s trying to replace Emacs?
- floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) English9•5 months ago
Emacs is more of a religion.

I don’t think Zed has an email client and window manager built-in.

I’ve been waiting for this. Been using Kate on Windows and Linux, which is great, but running Zed is just so lightweight. It’s like a truly open source Sublime Text.

been using WHAT??
- palordrolap ( @palordrolap@kbin.social ) 5•5 months ago
A wild username reference appears!
There’s an editor called Kate. It’s probably not named after you, but if you’re young enough and the person who named you was into tech, you might be named after it.

I named myself but im into tech does that count
- palordrolap ( @palordrolap@kbin.social ) 4•5 months ago
named myself
Programmer error: I totally missed a bunch of edge cases there. Cases 32 to 35 for sure
Buuut I’m guessing you didn’t name yourself after the editor.

GOOD article

I built it on Linux , Arch … takes forever because of rust and the 1000’s of depends. Works though.

Does zed have helix keybindings?

Compiled it yesterday on endeavourOS, it’s just 3 or 4 commands so give it a try if you’re interested. Still have to use it for coding but I set it as default for some source files and it does immediately open on click, with syntax highlight (I was searching for something like this)
Well, you got me to give it a try. The process seemed simple enough, but unfortunately my laptop hangs when I run
cargo run --release
, so looks like no Zed for me for a while (until someone builds a Flatpak).

If Zed goes wrong, can we just fork it? If yes, I’d like to use it.
It’s open source, so theoretically, yes.

The CLA stuff made me suspicious but probably you’re right.
If they’re using a CLA, that would only be used if you want them to merge your code into their codebase. If you’re running a fork, that shouldn’t be a problem.
