Zed on Chromebook

[codebird]

I use zed on my desktop PC Ubuntu 22.04. Now traveling, I have a chromebook for travel, I can't get zed to work, it installs and everything is fine, but once I try to run it, it is a very small window, keeps on flickering whenever you hover it with the mouse and it can't be used. Low density makes the window bigger, but still not usable.

seems like it is a wayland issue. When I used wayland on my desktop ubuntu, zed stopped totally opening too, unless I force x11. Can't force x11 on chromebook :(

Same here. Installed quickly on ChromeOS 126, but starting up zed displays a tiny window (1/6 size?), that's completely unusable. And it's continuously alternating between a new project wizard and "open a project" screen.

Side note: I'm excited to try Zed. VSCode is an enormous memory hog, which isn't great for a Chromebook. I've been using Sublime Text instead, but it doesn't seem as snappy as it used to be.

I went to chrome://flags enabled gpu for crostini JIC, to no avail :( I'll keep on tinkering...

I actually have the same problem.
Funnily enough it works wwhen launching it from weston.

I found this, but haven't tried it yet: https://chromeos.dev/en/linux/linux-on-chromeos-faq#why-are-windows-sometimes-tinyfuzzy

Now I am getting a pop up on launch, saying that the gpu is an emulated software gpu and it is unsupported :(

I think it might be an issue with the compositor rather then the gpu, since it works in weston.

Same here.

Hi there, any news? 🙏

There is more info in this thread/comment on setting the display DPI and installing Intel GPU drivers: #13847 (comment)
However, I tried setting the DPI and I still get a tiny window.
