Linux when? Linux now. 🎉🐧
For the last 6 months, our team and our open source community have been working hard to bring Zed to Linux.
As of today, we've released our first, official, stable build of Zed on Linux!

In case you were wondering... Zed is proudly built the hard way—from scratch, starting with an empty repo.
Our team *created* Electron, but we no longer believe that the ultimate editor can be created by forking a web browser.
(Or by forking a fork of a web browser 🙃)

Zed is now open source!
Our mission is to revolutionize developer collaboration, building the world's best code editor in the process. After working together in Zed as a small team, it's time to scale up to transform Zed into a collaboration platform.

We’re full speed ahead making a great editor, but there’s a bigger picture: we're building DeltaDB, a new kind of database for collaborative coding.

Zed is built from the ground up in Rust, using our own custom GPU-powered UI framework. Owning all layers in the stack allows us to deliver low-latency performance, but comes with the cost of a long beta period as we implement everything from scratch.

On a 120Hz display, apps have ~8ms to render each frame without introducing jank. In Electron, this felt impossible to achieve. So to create Zed, we took inspiration from video games and built our own UI framework in Rust that targets modern graphics hardware: GPUI. 🧵...

In an effort to improve our HTML experience, we now have automatic renaming of closing tags on type. This means that anytime you edit an opening tag, the corresponding closing tag will automatically be updated to match. This also works with multiple cursors!
If you prefer to disable this feature, you can do so by setting the new boolean setting `linked_edits` to `false` in your `settings.json` file. Note: this will be available in Zed Preview (v0.139) this Wednesday.
