Where Zed Editor keeps its logs

Zed Editor logs to ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log on macOS.

Zed Editor logs to ~/.local/share/zed/logs/Zed.log on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Zed Editor writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
