Their terminal will now be functional offline, as terminals should be…
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I like Rio
iTerm2 works well enough
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
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.
