From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Warp is the modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.

Believe this terminal has been out for a while on other platforms, but just hit the linux market too. Personally been looking forwards to this one for a while, but don't have any prior experience with it - so kinda hoping its as good as it looks.

Edit: Some fair points in comments that terminals shouldn't need cloud login. Personally thought that was an optional thing for people who wanted sync capability.

From their documentation

Unlike classic terminals, Warp requires you to sign up and log in to get started with the app.

So, yeah, it might be that people are not very impressed by a terminal that requires a cloud account.

But, if you don't type anything sensitive on to your terminal, like passwords and such, then you should be fine....

Ah. Yeah that would do it. I absolutely do not want a terminal that makes me login to some sort of cloud account.
