I tried for a while Zed as GUI editor, as I like the model where I use vim heavily, and some separate GUI editor for more like code browsing and understanding what I'm looking at (and meetings).

It's great in some areas but once you end up situation where you don't have your GPU driver temporarily available you are literally fucked. LLVMpipe experience is a horror story.

That's why I've returned on using my paid version of Sublime Text when I need a GUI editor because it just works in all situations and hardware generally quite well. It has both well implemented software and GPU pipelines.

This is also why I would look at its performance comparisons with a grain of salt as you could call Zed as unfinished implementation. It's not uncommon to boot a machine to some kind safe or rescue mode and it still would be nice to have full text editor experience.

@jarkko Why would someone require vulkan to edit some text? It’s a terrible idea. I’m my case i tried using llvmpipe (since vulkan is not yet available for orange pi 5) and it was super slow

@aldonogueira Yeah, Vulkan is fine as feature, i.e. if it exists, then it can be utilized.

Not implementing a supplemental rendering pipeline is a definition of unfinished product :-)
