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.

vscodium doesn't run at 120 FPS and isn't native (as in Electron), which are Zed's goals
Edit: it doesn't seem like native widgets are a development focus of Zed, though
Gotta type first. Everyone knows thats the bottleneck for productivity.
Especially when you have a bunch of extensions and a large-enough file, you want it to parse, highlight, and suggest fast.
So it doesn't run at a wastefully high FPS for a text editor? Is that supposed to be a selling point for Zed that it renders many, many more frames than a text editor needs?
The selling point is performance and speed... frames don't get rendered above your refresh rate.
Letters appearing when you type them improves user experience dramatically
Agreed, anything below 5 FPS is probably a bit slow for a text editor.
Yeah I find it impossible to program at 60fps.
Can we do Emacs vs. Vi next?
