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 for Linux, Rust-based Terminal (lemmy.world)

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.

I was intrigued for a moment; installed the package; then got greeted with this -- I don't think I'll proceed any further:

What a horrible idea. Can you even use your terminal, when you are offline with this?

please tell me this is a ruse

That sign up button doesn't even work for me lol. Which highlights a major issue: what if the website/auth service/network is down for whatever reason, and you can't even fricking launch the terminal? That's a major oversight IMO.
