Hey! I'm the mentioned Thorsten. Linux is actively being developed. Here's a PR from 2 days ago that shows file-opening in Linux starting to work: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/7852

And so far Linux support has been a big community effort. I think more community member contributed to Linux support than Zed teammates. Very cool to see.

So: Linux is in the works. Windows will probably happen after that, or if someone in the community wants to emulate what the Linux users are doing and start before that.

Windows support is happening locally on individuals machines. We’ll start upstreaming things up.
Where can we track this work so as to not duplicate it?
I’m trying to get to a point of convergence with 3 different contributors hacking on it right now, and make it a PR. There is also a new “windows-port” channel on Discord. Finally, we are waiting for Zed team to confirm if they are interested to have Windows port in tree at this point.

As a side note, Linux is going pretty strong!
