If you were hesitant to try the Warp terminal app on Linux due to its account login requirement, there’s some good news. The developers have removed the necessity for users to sign up and log in to use the application.
This change now allows anyone to download Warp for macOS or Linux and access its core features without the need for an account. While the team still believes that users will have a better experience by logging in, they hope that those testing the app without an account will appreciate its value enough to sign up later. However, they plan to limit access to certain features for logged-out users in the future.
Despite this relaxed requirement, Warp still does not support offline usage, meaning users cannot perform even basic commands while disconnected from the internet. This restriction could deter potential users, especially those interested in the AI features that it offers.
For those curious about trying it out, Warp can be downloaded for Linux from the official website, where users can select a DEB installer or a portable AppImage suitable for various architectures, including ARM64 systems like the Raspberry Pi.
