Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.<p>I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp at <a href="https://www.warp.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://www.warp.dev/</a>.<p>We've gotten 2-3 reports of authentication issues like the one the author mentions. We are actively looking into it; we believe its an issue with a library we depend on to open URLs. If anyone is experiencing these issues, please contact us at support@warp.dev so we can better understand the issue and further debug!<p>Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).<p>Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit">https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit</a>
