You gotta love the copy on the Warp site. As for why they’re now launching it on Linux:
Despite this, Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows
…relatively few? Really?
This sounds like it’d be exactly how I currently use Tumbleweed on my workstations: I don’t update daily, but rather every once in a while. I appreciate the new versions of things, but being on the daily bleeding edge is more work than I care to put in.
I can also see this working quite nicely for those with nvidia hardware, where with TW you’d sometimes end up with a kernel too new for the drivers to get shoehorned in. A slightly easier-going pace would help there.
It also reminds me of Android, where you have roughly monthly updates (theoretically) and every now and then a bigger one.
Installing a software package through a distro’s package manager sounds like a perfectly fine “Linux way” to me.
Of course, that filesystem exists today as btrfs.
Which, to be fair, isn’t exactly the fasted FS around. I love me some btrfs, but not for the benchmarks.
It absolutely is. Yet, as Sean said, it’s also yet another bit of software to run and maintain, and ES is known to be a bit of an effort to keep going well.
Admins having only finite amounts of time and/or resources, might make the very understandable decision to leave it out.
