Terminals will become this as Tiling and Wayland rise to standard Linux use

Post by Clarity »

I saw this report (WARP) and it appears to be written by @BarryK (you will notice WHY when you read/scan thru it ... hint: 'easyos' and style of writing).

Its the "Terminal for Linux upgraded from yesterday's world to today's". This is my way of expressing what that article shows. Instead of taking a terminal and adding things, like "tldr" and others, useful things are built in for today's users no matter their background with an aim to accelerate productivity in terminal usage.

You be the judge. ALSO, a video summary is here

BTW: Its authors encourages bug reports and feature requests.

Lastly, FossaPUP and BionicPUP users will need a PET. Other modern recent PUPs can get it from their package managers.

Someone else expresses like @BarryK and also uses EASYOS to make his life easy in that report. It is well-written, complete, and expressive in objectivity.

@williwaw Did you notice those points?

This is very annoying, associating my name with something that I have nothing to do with.

A big clue is that the report clearly indicates "Feature Story (By Jesse Smith)" - who has a distrowatch.com email address, is one of the

Apology IS IN ORDER! My mistaken identity.

I think the article is presented well, similar to how Barry has done things in the past.

I do not really consider this a terminal.

Not when it is around 100MB installed and can connect to an outside source on the Internet.

Sure it seems to work like one, but it is really a way to connect and use an AI server.

There are and will be opponents to anything new.

This terminal does have promise, in particular to CLI developers and users, alike. Here is a brief video that members would want to review, also. Should help our understanding.

I am not requesting change for those who are already comfortable with what they have always used. Rather, these reports are for those who might not know of a beneficial alternative that they might want to explore.

Like everything new and similar to 'tiling' windows, it will need to survive resistances to consideration.
