I'm not against it, but another factor that we should check in a terminal emulator (as a tool where you run everything from) is the system requirements.

I'm using urxvt and that's so easy on the system, it starts instantly. I can open multiple instances without worrying about the system resources.

I believe it uses X.org's text rendering. X.org uses OpenGL under the hood. It's not CPU rendered.

Alacrity felt bulkier when I tried. I will try this too though.

Alacritty felt too slow and was missing settings I wanted (like mousewheel scroll) due to devs being opinionated. Kitty has been fast and flexible for me.

Unless it is trying to actually look cool like "cool retro terminal" or something, I fail to see how the point. I don't recall ever in the history of my terminal use ever thinking "man, this terminal emulator is so slow!" I mean, really... 120fps 4k terminals. Neat I guess?

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.
