Zed Editor Now Publishing Native Linux Builds

<p>Is this a replacement for vs code or not ??
Is it good for the people who are using vs code and want to switch from that?</p>


<p>I’m loving it. But codeium has no support. I did all setup last night but I had to switch to b*t code again. Zed gives me web storm vibes. they have most of the features builtin, no extra plugins required.</p>
