Why Linux specifically

First-class Linux: Vulkan rendering, Wayland and X11, credentials in the Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring / KWallet). Not a flatpak'd afterthought.

Linux is a first-class target in the same Rust + GPUI codebase as macOS and Windows, rather than a separate browser-based port.

Common questions

Is Zolt a native Postgres client on Linux?

Yes. Zolt is written end-to-end in Rust on GPUI and renders through Vulkan on Linux — no Electron, no WebView. Credentials are stored in Secret Service (GNOME Keyring / KWallet).

Which Postgres versions does Zolt support?

Postgres 9 through 16, including managed services that speak the Postgres wire protocol (RDS, Cloud SQL, Supabase, Neon).

When can I download Zolt for Linux?

Download the current Linux build from zoltdb.com/download. Versioned builds are published from GitHub Releases so you can choose the newest build or an older one inside your update window.
