Sadly I can't run it in WSL.

I have been using it on Windows (native) after building it from source. Just for quick editing. It hasn’t crashed on me yet.

Man, what kinda of QA do they have that they miss something like this? WSL can be considered the second largest Linux "distro".

Of course, zed has always felt like an osx first project with linux/windows being second class citizen.

That seems a bit rude. You get the QA you paid for - zero.

And nevertheless, whenever Windows software doesn't work in Wine, you shouldn't think "Wow, how did you fuck that up?". They never promised it'd work in WSL.

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't even run on Windows...

I've not heard of QA in open-source projects... unless it's something peddled by a big corp (eg. Chrome, Go, VSCode etc.)

You are lucky if there's some automated unit testing, but that's as far as these things go. Programmers don't like, don't know and don't want to know how to QA. Also, they generally look at QA with contempt... so, unless forced to, they won't do it.
