Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
minus-square@booly@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•2 months agoShouldn’t the DE/Window Manager be handling that? Seems like doing it on a window by window basis would be inefficient (and look inconsistent).
minus-square@AProfessional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish21•2 months agoThat’s a totally unrelated part of the stack. These days you just have a compositor that combines the output of applications. The model of out of process rendering in Xorg was done pre-2000s but GPUs became the norm and don’t work well this way.
