I loved the first game, spent tons of time playing it.

Popular multiplayer code editor Zed gets a Linux release

Having tried it, it was pretty slow compared to other editors I've used. The fonts are also quite blurry, it's full of AI stuff :sick:, it looks like Mac app even on Linux, has some weird Mac keyboard symbols for shortcuts, there's no debugger support...

I know it's just first release on Linux and I hope it gets better, but for now I saw no reason to use it over Kate or Helix.

You can luckily toggle off the AI bullshit from the settings but it being plastered everywhere really tells me who the audience is, and I don't think it's me. Also they seemed to equate Git with Github, because only Github services were supported.

On positive side though, it was very easy to get going with it and the config, while being editing json files (why??), was still alright experience.

Edit: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589 [External Link] oh no

Ohh awesome, I am happy to see this. This game is very fun and moddable so I highly recommend it. Casual chill game except on higher difficulties you have to be more tactical :D

No rootkit on Linux? Seems like a good thing to me.

3rd party KDE Plasma Global Themes and Widgets can lead to data loss

Before anyone goes "curate the store" then I need to ask you: With what resources? Are you going to do it? There's really not enough people to curate the place considering how much stuff gets uploaded there. If you're willing to help then that would be awesome though!

Second, "just remove the thing" is also something that yes, it's the obvious way, but then people will complain nothing works anymore.

Personally I was not even aware global themes can do this, but as far as I know, it should be only global themes and maybe widgets that can run stuff.

The whole thing needs improvement, that's for sure.

Edit: If I were to be the ultimate dictator of Linux systems, I would just make rm commands ask confirmation and break everyone's shell scripts. ;P
