Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

A curl piped into a shell or some unofficial packages from various distros.
At this point I don’t get why these projects are not Flatpak-first.
Flatpak is worse for debugging, development, and reproducibility.
Its good for user friendly sandboxing, portability, and convenience.
Is it really worse tho? A single build, against a single runtime, free from distro specificities, packaged by the devs themselves instead of offloading the work on distro maintainers?
It is. Security problem in core library? Good luck waiting for 27 randos releasing an update. Whereas the distro updates it even before the issue becomes public.
I’ll have to come up with some examples and write something more detailed I think to explore this.
Until NixOS I was very in favor of language specific package managers and things like flatpak.
Flatpaks are reproducible https://ranfdev.com/blog/flatpak-builds-are-not-reproducible/
You see the conclusion of that article is that flatpaks are not repeoducible after presenting solutions to make it reproducible right?
