The Zed editor is now officially available for Linux. Zed is a high-performance, GPU accelerated, multiplayer code editor created by the same people who made Atom and Tree-Sitter.
Linux when? Linux now.
We are pleased to announce that we are now officially publishing Zed builds for Linux!
Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer. We help you build software faster than ever before.
To install Zed on most Linux distributions, run this shell script:
curl https://zed.dev/install.sh | shFor other installation options and help troubleshooting read the guide, or download for macOS.
On a personal note, Zed's community has been vital to the rapid development of this Linux build. As we've discussed before, building a UI toolkit and application for Linux means working with an incredibly variable environment. From your GPU, to your distro, to your window manager, Zed has to handle it all.
I want to thank the approximately 133 contributors and Zed staff who collectively proposed some 447 PRs. I also want to thank everyone in the #linux channel on our Discord for continually building Zed and fixing bugs in many more configurations than our team could cover. I'd also like to personally thank:
- @kvark, for showing up within a week of our Linux kick-off and implementing a whole new renderer and platform implementation, from scratch, using Blade and X11.
- @apricotbucket28, for continually refining our Wayland and X11 integrations and fixing many protocol deviations.
- @someone13574, for helping make Zed work for distro maintainers and developing our flatpak bundler.
We couldn't have done it without everyone's support, thank you so much!
