Their terminal will now be functional offline, as terminals should be…

I’m old, and curmudgeon, so I say this with much disdain: there are few things that need ”updating” or “multiplayer”, and the terminal is not one of them.
Edit: forgot a word
I think you forgot a “not”
Thanks!
I was reading that whole thing thinking the exact same thing. Disdain and all.
Warp is a great terminal imho with new features being added that make life in the terminal easier.
Login can go though. But there might be someone who loves the multiplayer feature.
Like what
I tried it out for a little while and it was pretty good at remembering passwords that I had typed and printing them in plaintext later for unknown reasons.
😅 sounds like a great feature.
Password manager! Bonus!
It didn’t start out with the AI feature, now if I don’t remember a command fully I can just type “# thing I want to do” and it will give you an a template where you can fill in the right variables for your case.
It’s not flawless but pretty good and saves me “man-ing” and searching.
Saves your from learn-ing
Sometimes I want to learn, sometimes I just need to get something done. Why not be able to do both?
Because then you’ll never learn.

Lol, whatever 😂
Premature optimization is a waste of time.
Frees them up to learn important things.
Maybe they would be better off on windows.
It’s worth nothing unless you manually write your commands in machine language!
JFC I will definitely stay the fuck away from whatever garbage this is.
Kind of in the same boat, but I can see this being useful for distributed Ops teams, or possibly in support.
Warp is just creepy as shit. Even if they’re pulling back on requiring an account to use a terminal I can’t see myself giving it another try.
I guess the little options of a pull down terminal by hotkey and a specific colorizing transparency are the only GUI things I look to from Yakuake and Konsole, but so many things can be accomplished internally. I love learning to think on the command line and creating things. I feel blessed and ingenious to just take care of things like a lot of servers or databases when needed where there isn’t a tool around to solve an issue using terminal utilities all building a secure and helpful solution. I can just create my own customizations and setup or borrow from others’, including AI connections, in BASH and ZSH. It’s been years between needing a new tool or change, and the last one was only converting from BASH to ZSH because of people’s good work in customizations I liked.
I was on the wait-list so long that I forgot why I was interested. Then I got the invite, downloaded the thing, got prompted to log in and immediately deleted the thing. I still don’t remember why I was interested but I’m definitely not fucking with it now.
If you use a terminal emulator with a forced always-on internet requirement and “AI” tools, you’re a fucking idiot.
I’m a non dev and non IT worker but found myself using warp the last year on mac and linux kde for home things and work. I really like it particularly its history per tab and various intuitive usability things like click and drag to select text , copy pasteetc. The login requirement did creep me out, as well as the AI things I’m not using. I don’t trust businesses going in these directions. Anyone recommended another terminal cross platform (not that important i guess) and good for a non uber techie like me?
Edit: apologies I hadn’t seen the earlier comment thread but perhaps my requirement mentions will produce some interesting replies.
Kitty might meet your needs well, I’ve been quite happy with it
Slightly offtopic, but I’m looking for a new terminal, can I have some recommendations? I feel like Warp is not going to be on the list.
Wezterm is my go to
Seconded.
Wezterm is one of the best, most customisable terminals I’ve used.It’s super fast, and there’s a lot you can do with it.
The multiplexing still has some rough edges, but it’s getting closer and closer to replacing tmux for me.
Kitty term is quite good Or if you want something that just damn works, xfce4-terminal is one I can’t get myself to replace
Yeah kitty is really good. I did mostly choose it for the name, but it might be the best terminal emulator out there. It’s fast, with a lot of great modern features.
I’m a fan of Alacritty, it’s written in rust and uses GPU rendering to be one of the fastest terminals on the planet. Sounds odd but genuinely makes a difference
Konsole is great on kde
iTerm2 works well enough
It depends on what you need on a terminal. If I just wanted a terminal, I’d go with Foot, but Konsole (on KDE Plasma) might be a good all-around solution.
Termius is phenomenal if remote SSH is your goal. The portability between desktop and phones is flawless, and it’s truly one of the only subscription services I gladly pay for. They come out with nice regular updates too.
If all you need is a slick terminal to use locally though, kitty is great.
Alacritty
I like Rio
Easily Ptyxis if you work with containers or immutable distros. Makes managing containers a breeze, has tabs for each container in which you can work as normal and is full of visual clues so you won’t be able to mess anything up.
Also the new default terminal on fedora workstation!
I don’t think I’ve ever installed a different terminal besides the one that came stock… what am I missing out?
(Except on Android which doesn’t come with a terminal, I installed termux for some reason at one point, which I don’t use, and JuiceSSH which was so nice I kicked some money their way).
