From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

I think Zed is quite different from Atom. But Pulsar might be your thing. A direct fork of the last release of Atom being developed by ex Atom developers :)

I just mean that I liked the work that the devs did on Atom, which makes me want to try this one out too

Oh, in that case you might like either. I think both are great in their own way!

Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren't ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.

Oh, interesting. In that case I misunderstood that part, I thought there were core devs of Atom involved in Pulsar, thanks :)

Watch this space for the full history, I'm literally putting the final touches on a blog post that will go into details of how Atom started then how it became Pulsar as a little celebration after we hit 3k stars.
