-=== Emacs
+=== VS Code or VSCodium in Flatpak
+
+Setting up `rust-analyzer` with a Flatpak version of Code is not trivial because of the Flatpak sandbox.
+While the sandbox can be disabled for some directories, `/usr/bin` will always be mounted under `/run/host/usr/bin`.
+This prevents access to the system's C compiler, a system-wide installation of Rust, or any other libraries you might want to link to.
+Some compilers and libraries can be acquired as Flatpak SDKs, such as `org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable` or `org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm15`.
+
+If you use a Flatpak SDK for Rust, there should be no extra steps necessary.
-Note this excellent https://robert.kra.hn/posts/2021-02-07_rust-with-emacs/[guide] from https://github.com/rksm[@rksm].
+If you want to use Flatpak in combination with `rustup`, the following steps might help:
+
+ - both Rust and `rustup` have to be installed using https://rustup.rs. Distro packages _will not_ work.
+ - you need to launch Code, open a terminal and run `echo $PATH`
+ - using https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal[Flatseal], you must add an environment variable called `PATH`.
+ Set its value to the output from above, appending `:~/.cargo/bin`, where `~` is the path to your home directory.
+ You must replace `~`, as it won't be expanded otherwise.
+ - while Flatseal is open, you must enable access to "All user files"
+
+A C compiler should already be available via `org.freedesktop.Sdk`.
+Any other tools or libraries you will need to acquire from Flatpak.

+=== Emacs
Prerequisites: You have installed the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
-Emacs support is maintained as part of the https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[Emacs-LSP] package in https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[lsp-rust.el].
+To use `rust-analyzer`, you need to install and enable one of the two popular two popular LSP client implementations for Emacs, https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot[Eglot] or https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[LSP Mode]. Both enable `rust-analyzer` by default in rust buffers if it is available.
+
+==== Eglot
+
+Eglot is the more minimalistic and lightweight LSP client for Emacs, integrates well with existing Emacs functionality and will be built into Emacs starting from release 29.
+
+After installing Eglot, e.g. via `M-x package-install` (not needed from Emacs 29), you can enable it via the `M-x eglot` command or load it automatically in `rust-mode` via
+
+[source,emacs-lisp]

+
+For more detailed instructions and options see the https://joaotavora.github.io/eglot[Eglot manual] (also available from Emacs via `M-x info`) and the
+https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/blob/master/README.md[Eglot readme].
+
+Eglot does not support the rust-analyzer extensions to the language-server protocol and does not aim to do so in the future. The https://github.com/nemethf/eglot-x#rust-analyzer-extensions[eglot-x] package adds experimental support for those LSP extensions.
+
+==== LSP Mode
+
+LSP-mode is the original LSP-client for emacs. Compared to Eglot it has a larger codebase and supports more features, like LSP protocol extensions.
+With extension packages like https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[LSP UI] it offers a lot of visual eyecandy.
+Further it integrates well with https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode[DAP mode] for support of the Debug Adapter Protocol.
+
+You can install LSP-mode via `M-x package-install` and then run it via the `M-x lsp` command or load it automatically in rust buffers with

+Also see the https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/lsp-rust-analyzer/[rust-analyzer section] for `rust-analyzer` specific options and commands, which you can optionally bind to keys.
-1. Install the most recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[Emacs-LSP instructions].
-2. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
-3. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
-4. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
+Note the excellent https://robert.kra.hn/posts/2021-02-07_rust-with-emacs/[guide] from https://github.com/rksm[@rksm] on how to set-up Emacs for Rust development with LSP mode and several other packages.

While most errors and warnings provided by rust-analyzer come from the `cargo check` integration, there's a growing number of diagnostics implemented using rust-analyzer's own analysis.
Some of these diagnostics don't respect `\#[allow]` or `\#[deny]` attributes yet, but can be turned off using the `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.enable`, `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.experimental.enable` or `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.disabled` settings.
