I miss the point why they don’t invested into Flatpak. I mean, with Flatpak they could’ve focus on make Zed works on the Flatpak platform and, as a consequence, it will be fine in every distro. The only thing that they should’ve be taking care is X11 and Wayland, but every other aspect to worry such as distro choice, QT/GTK, Gnome/KDE, etc would be vanished away

They have not made a final decision on packaging it, in fact it’s not even distributed at the moment, you need to compile it yourself. From what I’ve seen they will very likely package it as flatpak when it’s out of alpha/beta

Or just install with cargo, have it run unrestricted and still work everywhere. I dont think rust apps need to be flatpakked

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
