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.

I still do not understand why Zed makes such a big deal about being GPU accelerated when you'll be hard pressed to find a single text editor nowadays that isn't.

Yeah, I don't see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!
