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.

Closest I can think of is Warp, although right now it's still closed source and Mac only. If there are others I've missed I'd love to learn more!

Yeah, deal breaker :D I'm not interested in mac software

They do have Linux and Windows versions coming and claim they're going to gradually open source it so there's that, but yeah, doesn't exactly inspire that much confidence lol

Warp has discoverability features that would actually convince me of using a "modern" terminal - like instant tooltips with documentation.

That said, call it trust issues, but I'll never use a closed source terminal.

I'd like to see more user-friendly features like this that are terminal-agnostic. Manually checking manpages is so slow and fickle. Having the equivalent of an intellisense for the command line would be awesome.

there is Inshellisense

I tried it for a few minutes, but every time I hit ctrl+c it stops showing tooltips. Looks good though

Yup, I feel you. It's something I've always wanted myself, and I find myself hoping the OSS alternatives eventually implement something similar. For now I just make do with things like tealdeer and whatnot.

Edit: Just stumbled upon navi, the interactivity looks a lot closer to what we want than tldr and friends at least
