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.

Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

If it can’t run in a terminal, what is the point?

gpu accelerated editor with remote development > terminal editor

There are gpu accelerated terminal emulators... Not sure what you mean by remote development though.

remote development for connecting to a machine without a display server; basically covering the main use case for being constrained to a terminal.

Remote Tunnels in VS Code or JetBrains Gateway for example

I do use a GPU accelerated terminal, but it's still very limited compared to a GUI; they serve different goals.

Fair

I like to be just as comfortable coding remotely as I do locally. I have the same setup on my machine & on servers. TUIs are sometimes a better UI/UX since they tend to not come with so much bloat & compatibility with all window managers as well as working great for extremely lightweight, low-latency pairing like the experience provided by upterm. My terminal is also GPU-acceraletd too for performance.
