Installed it, why not. Tried to run it.

error opening [PathLikeWithPosition { path_like: "/home/me/test", row: None, column: None }]: NoSupportedDeviceFound

Then tried it in Xorg, and it runs normally. I guess it doesn't run in Wayland?

...

So, I gave it a short test drive. Observations:

  • UI is nice and minimal
  • Window splitting is useful
  • Key bindings don't seem to do anything
  • Command palette commands don't seem to do anything
  • Editor appears to crash if I switch to a virtual terminal then back to Xorg

Suspect it's shooting to be something like sublime text. Cool, but seems like there's a lot of work to be done.

I'm also running it smoothly on Wayland+nvidia. Pacman install btw.

Most key bindings work ime. All commands I've tried in the past few days work fine too, though I've missed things especially for Python development. For Rust it is very much usable today I'd say.

I'm running it on Wayland + Nvidia (god help me) and it works great, no crashes whatsoever. No idea what's going on on your end. I haven't tried using any custom keybindings or the command palette, so I'm not sure if those work.

Hm, interesting, I'm simply not sure then. Oh, well. Maybe I'll try it again another day. For now I'm content with emacs.

Tried it today, didn't expect much, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and look and feel. I will give it a try for a while to see if I will switch from vscode permanently.

Slogan: "Code at the speed of thought"

How does it speed up my typing? /s

I'm surprised and disappointed they didn't mention Windows.

They publish macOS and now Linux releases. The issue tracker has many/multiple Windows tickets and a windows label. So it seems it's not published as a release yet, but potentially usable as self-compiled, with efforts to reach stability. I assume anyway. There's no obvious, clear indication or documentation that I can find (docs, readme tickets, project, milestone).

Exists: Dev Docs has Windows setup instructions.

I'm using it on Windows, works fine for the most part. Compiling it takes ages and >16GB of RAM though :/

I haven't experienced any stability issues or crashes as of yet, but some of the extensions don't work.

All in all it's a great start imo, but it definitely needs some work
