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.

I think they auto install some binaries like nodejs that are required for baseline functionality, but have a popup window for additional language LSPs

what if I wanted to use deno or bun? I don't think that should be their decision to install "default" stuff that have alternatives

I'm all for their improvement tho

I don't see your point? Nodejs is installed in a custom directory and not added to PATH. It is used by Zed for providing npm support for extensions, and other things. I'm not a Zed developer so I don't know exactly.

It doesn't prevent you from using deno or bun in any way.

I see, that's greatif it is only locally installed and used, messing with PATH could, probably, break stuff like nvm or others
