I've been really impressed by OpenCode [0]. The limitations of all the frontier TUI is removed and it is feature complete and performant compared to Codex or Claude Code.

What kind of API subscription are you using? I found opencode to be incredibly expensive - prompts costing $5, while with aider I did it for <$0.1.

> OpenCode will be available on desktop soon

Anyone happen to know what that means exactly? The install instructions at the top seems to indicate it already is available on desktop?

It's a terminal only (TUI) tool today. They're releasing a graphical (GUI) version in the future.

But to use that TUI you need a desktop, or at least a laptop I guess, but that distinction doesn't make sense. Are they referring to the GUI being the "Desktop Version"? Never heard it put that way before if so.

No, you don't need a "desktop" to use a TUI. It's terminal based and has nothing to do with the desktop environment you're in.

Alao, if you have a "desktop" that assumes you're using a GUI. Pretty straightforward.
