OMG Ubuntu ☛ Warp, the AI-infused Terminal, Relaxes Its Login Requirement

If you were put off trying the Warp terminal app on Ubuntu (or another GNU/Linux distro) due to the account and login requirement, there’s good news. The team behind the Rust-based, AI-infused terminal tool has relented on the requirement that users sign-up for and log in with a Warp account before they can run a command. As of this week, anyone can download Warp for for macOS or GNU/Linux (it’s coming to backdoored Windows soon) and access “all of the core features […] with a preview of more advanced features” without an account, and without logging in.
