The editor provides native builds for Linux, including Nixpkgs packages and a reproducible flake. Hardware acceleration requires a GPU with Vulkan support; systems without Vulkan can fall back to emulation via tools such as [https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL nixGL].<ref>Zed Industries, "Linux", Zed Documentation, Accessed October 2025. https://zed.dev/docs/linux</ref> | The editor provides native builds for Linux, including Nixpkgs packages and a reproducible flake.
