@@GoogleUser-uv9bo not really. Just that builtin features are more compatible with the rest of the environment, thus just work better
Oh my god who tf made the website as white as snow like that. Our eyes are suffering with all that white glare. Love zed though
Fr, and that glowing white man in the corner too
@@haleycooper785it’s atrocious man . Seriously
Oh no white background is fine. That's just popular misconception and wrong lighting in your room/environment it has nothing to do with white color per-se. 🦸
Install dark reader. At least avoids bleeding your eyes from the light of all the white in websites
Learn to look at white web pages. It's better for your eyes
Well you gave me enough reasons to try the preview. good video btw
Installed Zed on my old laptop, works great! Much faster than vscode!
Thx for the video
Oh my God this guy is insane. Thank you so much for your help. You and your words are very attractive and have helped me through such a hard time. I hope your parents, specifically your dad, are proud.
Really great showcase of zed!
Thanks a lot Karan! More content to come soon 😊
Will give it a shot
thanks for the video. are you using Wayland or X11? Ive been triend to install zed-preview from the Aur for a while, however I still got error. Perhaps is that an error with the packages from the Aur?
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
-> error making: zed-preview-exit status 1
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
zed-preview - exit status 1
I am using Wayland, however I get that error too currently. The issue is that there is a build hash validation issue for 0.140.2-1 in the AUR. What you could do is install an older version (e.g. 0.140.0-1 in the video), skip the integrity check (depends on your package manager, I use paru but for yay look into `--skipinteg`), or make the package with `makepkg` and update the hash in the `PKGBUILD` (look into `updpkgsums`) so it works correctly. Hopefully that gives you some useful leads, let me know if you still need help!
@@brian.cooper mate thanks for the input. unfortunatelly build failed. I tried using yay -S --noconfirm --mflags --skipinteg zed-preview will try using makepkg method after lunch. I might need to wait for the bin version or a flatpak repo. Shame, because I really love Zed on MacOS
@@leonardobetti8811 Let me know if you get stuck with making the package. There is some flatpak progress you might want to check out, though it is secondary to the team as they work on the native Linux install process: github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12006#issuecomment-2134191883
@@leonardobetti8811 have you got it working?
Zed is faster than vscode because it's written in rust
Yep. And VS Code is an Electron app - there's only so fast the engineers will be able to make it.
I mean, Rust >> Js, all the way through
Yeah… and also doesn’t support many cool vscode extensions. Why don’t they make a compatibility layer? Then I could switched to it instantly
Does it allow toggling overtype mode on pressing the "Insert" button?
The thing I love most about vim/nvim is that since it runs inside the terminal I can leave my desktop, pickup my laptop, ssh into my workstation, attach to my tmux session and easily pickup where I left.
Or also the fact that if you need anything, you are already in a terminal, no need to open anything. Just ctrl+z, do whatever you need to do and fg
Agreed, (neo)vim are great. Also check out Helix (github.com/helix-editor/helix) if you haven't. A Zed TUI is being discussed here: github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7493
@@brian.cooper the problem with helix is that you get basically no advantages over vim, it's basically the same concept but works in a different way.
But vim is the standard, you will find vim motions EVERYWHERE. Helix motions are used only in helix and kakoon.
Since at the end of the day you gain nothing compared to vim, it makes no sense to switch from vim to helix
still helix is better then vscode. At the very least you can still work in a terminal without using your entire ram just to open a config file lol
Can someone tell me how I can enable the voice calling on linux, or is it still in development?
❤❤❤
What's your experience with debugging on Zed?
your desktop is so cool!
Thanks a lot 😄 It's driven by code and my configs are all open source. You can check them out at github.com/coopbri/dots. A bunch of people asked me how to do it so I will definitely make a video about it
Nice video, I'm also trying to use Zed on arch (zed-preview), but the app won't open up. I can see it on system monitor, and Zed's status shows up as sleeping. Any idea how I can change that? thanks
I would check the logs, for me they are at `~/.local/share/zed/logs/Zed.log`. See if you find any clear issue there. Feel free to attach it here and I can help debug!
It work on any linux on wsl or hyperv?iam ask
zed feels very nice. I think zed could be the best nvim alternative or they could embrace being a really nice terminal. Then nvim folks might use it just for that
do you guys know if it's possible to export it through a distrobox? i already have an arch container would prefer to do that instead of building it
Man what a great question. I haven't tried this with distrobox but I'm curious about this as well. I use distrobox in one of my workflows so maybe I'll try this out, if I do I will let you know
@@brian.cooper thanks, i can tell you i gave it a try yesterday without much success, wasn't able to export succesfully the zed-preview and the zed-git versions. The zed basic version was exported but when called didn't do anything both inside and outside the container, it's probably my fault i'm kinda a noob in linux i don't know.
which DESKTOP manager do u use?
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean compositor I use Hyprland. You can see all of the core software I have on my desktop (including compositor) here: github.com/coopbri/dots?tab=readme-ov-file#core
Yeetin Beetin Teetin!
So, it looks like Zed tries to merge the best of the two worlds (vs code and vim).
Btw coding with copilot is like coding pasting code. 😊
Do you have any solution based on snippets?
Talk about timing. Snippets are now supported as of v0.141.0: github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases/tag/v0.141.0-pre
How did you install zed preview I’m having 16gb of ram while downloading it , my laptop crashes with 14gb of ram usages while building and compiling
Since this video came out, aur.archlinux.org/packages/zed-preview-bin was added to the AUR which is a prebuilt binary of Zed Preview. Give that a try! Should work much better for you since you don't have to build it (I switched to this package myself)
@@brian.cooper okay, ah thanks , new features are working now
It need gpu?
I just checked and it's also available for NixOS. I guess I'll test it out
Let me know your experience! I tried it with nix-env on Arch and it worked great so should be good on NixOS
@@brian.cooper tomorrow I'll test it on my work PC, which I use with WSL. If I have time I'll also test on my personal machine with NixOS
@@brian.cooper I'll try it out on my work pc tomorrow,but it uses WSL. If I have time I'll also try on my NixOS personal machine
For now, I am using Helix, but one day I will be using Zed when it is official. Right now, I am more concerned with building/testing Gimp for near release, not Zed.
That said, I think even if I go back to Helix, I want to 'Zed' to win. It feels modern and VS Code like without having to throw your entire kitchen ram at the beast.
Hi, i just tried to install zed with yay but when i try to launch it, it just never appears, i cant find the reason to this, if anyone coult help me, it would be great !
What package did you install from the AUR? Do you get any useful console output when you run zed with `zed --foreground`?
Same is I am with nvim and vscode
I am obsessed with react and React native snippets like rnfe, rnfes
so I just do my RN code on vs code and other backend and stuffs on nvim
you can add the snippets to nvim via a plugin. will share it here later
{
"dsznajder/vscode-es7-javascript-react-snippets",
run = "yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn compile",
},
i know this is all about zed , but i wanna know how to make my arch linux look like yours ,
what window manager you use what's your config all these kind of stuff
also if you could do a video tutorial will be great
keep it up 💪
Hey man, I appreciate it. I am happy to help you with this, and I will absolutely make a video in the near future, just want to make sure my configs are more stable before doing that, they're kind of a mess right now. All of my system configs, including window manager and so on are in my dotfiles repo: github.com/coopbri/dots
Check the "Software" section in the README to see an outline of the key pieces you're looking for
I will let you know once I roll out a video about this, should be within the next month or so. If you have questions feel free to reach out!
@@brian.cooper Thanks for your reply i'll definitely be waiting for this video
Wow, it's not mac-only now.
Is there an update to work on Windows as well?
Track github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5394
@@brian.cooper not work
How do you get the status bar on this system❤?
The status bar is called waybar. My waybar config is here: github.com/coopbri/dots/tree/master/.config/waybar
They don't know features is not the reason we use windows instead of mac
try nvim
I thought zed was still months away from being ready on Linux.
It has some work still before it is considered officially ready, however I've been running it well for several weeks on Linux!
So Zed supports all the integrations/plugins that VSCode supports? If that so, I'll try it, otherwise VSCode can't be beated. Sorry but enough of the "new tools hype". It's slow and memory hungry, but it's battle tested. We'll see in a couple years from now...
Hey, I like your waybar config. can you share it? plz.
For sure, kind of messy at the moment though: github.com/coopbri/dots/tree/master/.config/waybar
@@brian.cooper thanks
could you make a tutorial on how to get llama working with zed on linux
Absolutely! I'll do a video on setting up various LLMs on zed. Stay tuned
@@brian.cooper tell me when please
amazing! it can do different colors and stuff. can't it open a existing project? nah... that's asking too much. In other words... I'm getting too old for this :(
edit: ok, I'm installing the preview version - it's going to be much better!... doesn't do anything at all, no ui shows up... :(
I cannot copy and paste on wayland Linux

how to run zed on windows
Track github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5394 for updates to this
it is not run on wid,linux,mac
Double click ,itis not run
Text too small viewing in mobile
Will fix that in future videos, cheers mate
ubuntu??
arch btw.
zed vs lapce!
Haven't seen lapce before you mentioned it, looks cool! Do you have any thoughts? I'll give it a shot
I feel like there's no way to take this team seriously if they are gonna built a code editor, for developers, and not include the two most used OS on release date.
How can you expect me to try it on your editor if I have to go trough all this trouble just to run it?
They seem dead already on release to me...
Their decision to go with only Mac and push off other officially supported releases until later is mind boggling... MacOS is definitely not iOS in terms of popularity, and there just doesn't seem to be a good reason to not start with Linux. And if adoption was an actual priority then Windows, realistically.
Does he work in wsl windows
built-in git pilot & ai support is kinda cringe ngl
nothing beats neovim
ubuntu ?
lame
Zed has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen if I am being honest.
