I'm never using this editor unless it can install itself and work completely offline, without going for downloads and making web requests , it is crucial, especially after totally not related xz fiasco and the white house praise for rust.

Fairly positive due to blurry cursors, but I have no way to verify.
If you run xeyes and the eyes follow your cursor when it's above the application you want to test, it's running under xwayland. If they don't follow your cursor, the application is running under native Wayland.
I tried zed for a few weeks because I'm generally sympathetic to the "use a native app" idea vs Electron. I generally liked it and its UX but: 1. VSCode is pretty damn fast to be honest. Very rarely is my slowdown in my work VSCode loading. Maybe I don't open very large files? Probably 5k lines of typescript at most. 2. Integration with the Typescript language server was just not as good as VSCode. I can't pin down e…
I don't use it as my main editor (I'm far too used to the Jetbrains editors to make the switch, they're just too smart), but it's the best one for CLI apps that use EDITOR, like git. It boots up basically instantly even when it hasn't been launched in a while and I can make my commit messages and immediately close stuff up at the speed of my thought.
Just a suggestion. One of the best features of pure text editors (and incredible, not all of them implement it) is autosave keeping the "unsaved" state of the file. For example, if you make some changes in a file (new or not), don't save the changes, close and open the editor, the state of the opened files are kept like I never had closed the editor. The unsaved files are still unsaved. New edited files are still the…

Three months from now I won't remember using the script to install it. And the contents of the script could completely change. This is not a helpful take.
This is not a helpful take for you . The same method works fine for me over the last decade. Taking notes helps, having some helper scripts helps. If one’s invested in a technology, one finds a way to remember.
A debian package relieves them of the overhead you describe by having a few people do the work for anyone else that uses the package.

It's free software in letter, but not in spirit. True free software doesn't lock out non-official builds for zero technical reasons.
what about vscodium? for that reason, what was iceweasel?
As far as I know Chrome forks are not blocked from using extensions from the Chrome Web Store.

If you run xlsclients it will list all applications running through xwayland. [0] https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xorg-xlsclients/
