Same thing happens in my environment. When using hybrid mode with both GPUs, everything works flawlessly. However, when I switch to using only the integrated graphics, the Zed Editor starts consuming a lot of CPU and my computer freezes. So, I can relate to the person who reported this issue. I am using an Nvidia graphics card.

Of note, both your laptops have an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 GPU.

@dayves Can you confirm if the graphics mode is what causes this?

If so, this might be another GPU compatibility issue

Conrad, I'd like to point out that the issue occurs exclusively when using Wayland. When I switch to X, this problem doesn't arise.

Weird. Do you know why that would cause a difference?

It might be a GPU issue. The GPU shows usage by the app, but since my CPU usage spikes due to Zed, I'm wondering how to debug this. It likely has to do with how Wayland handles GPU calls. When using hybrid mode, the integrated GPU on CPU works fine. It also works with NVIDIA Prime, so I'm trying to figure out what the problem could be.

@ConradIrwin I trying on another DE, and distro, and now it's working fine, but this time my Nvidia gpu is disabled. Now I'm using Popos

Same issue with me. The screen occasionally freezes for 1-2 seconds and then continues normally. Only happening with zed, Other apps are fine. Specs:

[betancour]

Hey @pro-khar, are you using Wayland or Xorg?
Just a heads-up: the issue doesn't seem to occur on Xorg.

[pro-khar]

Hey @betancour . I'm on Xorg (X11)

Just encountered this on Xorg too. The issue only seems to occur when opening Zed on an external display. No errors are shown in any logs that I can see.
