Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Zed currently requires glibc 2.29, which is not available on older Linux distros. I'm using RHEL 8 which only has 2.28.

I thought using the unofficial Flatpak version would work around this (isn't that the point of Flatpak?) but no, exactly the same issue. Soured my opinion of Flatpak a bit tbh, if it doesn't even avoid Linux's biggest binary compatibility clusterfuck.

Anyway is there any chance you could compile Zed with an older version? E.g. you could use Rocky 8. Here's an example where I did this.

Environment

RHEL 8 / Glibc 2.28
