    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.
