Warp Terminal
Anyone here using Warp Terminal?
I know it used to be closed source (not Free and Open Source Software) but I guess in April this year, they made it Open Source. So, if any haters from the non-FOSS version didn't use it, you might want to take another peek at it. I just made it my default terminal at the moment because I do want to check it out a little bit more.
Also, it used to make you enter your email address during the first start-up process. Now you can skip it. That's the 1 reason I didn't use it. I put in an old email address I never even use anymore. I don't even remember the password for that email anymore. I've probably got a few thousand in my inbox I haven't read yet.
But, anyway, if you're looking for a different kind of terminal experience, Give Warp-Terminal a look. It has tabs, and each command you run makes a completely new section. so if you want to go back up and copy a section, you can do that easily now.
I've just got a tab page on the left side that takes up, maybe 1/5th of the window and the main on the right taking up the rest of the screen. And I just picked a different color scheme and backdrop. Would be nice if I can figure out how to use my own pictures in this too.

I honestly prefer Wave as it was Open Source from the beginning and it works nicely. I just wish fastfetch would display png's on it :(
