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.

Whats your thoughts on Ai in your terminal? (www.warp.dev)

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They say the dont collect data and you can check it aswell as opt out. But the idea of a terminal being read by an Ai makes me hesitant aswell as a account needed to use warp. What do you guys think?

I'm not the biggest fan of the forced account thing, but I do like a lot of Warp's features. The command suggestions especially make dealing with tools that have like 1000 switches so much easier (like docker for example). Other than that... It's easy to customize, fast and looks good.

Tl;Dr: I like Warp, cry about it.

Command suggestions can be provided by the shell too for what it’s worth. fish ships with autosuggestion and autocompletion. For zsh, you need a separate plugin (but it’s well worth it)

I use fish and have used it for a long time and it works very well with warp, actually. You get both it's autosuggestions and warp's autocomplete. 's nice

Its not that i hate the idea of having an AI in the terminal its just the idea of having a account to use it. I played around with it last night and tried diffrent ideas which it sometimes is useful. I did #what is my graphics card "Lspci -k "VGA"" Ok that was helpful Then i tried #what driver is my graphics card using? "Lspci -k "VGA"" Which does not list your driver. Its hit or miss.
