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.

What's that?
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from the makers of Atom. It is written in rust.
Zed is not an IDE, it's a code editor. No, they aren't the same things, it's like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.
This distinction is not as meaningful as it used to be before LSPs; there's little a PyCharm IDE can do that you can't do in VS Code editor for example.
You are right, stand corrected.
