​​Alacritty (★ 7642) - the fastest terminal emulator. It uses GPU to render fonts. If you work a lot in the terminal and edit your code in Emacs or Vim, then you probably spot the difference. I worked few weeks with Alactitty and I can say it worth to try. Written in Rust. You can install it only from the source files so far, so you have to clone the repo and compile it by yourself on your computer. Hovewer, the tutorial is quite understandable and itundefineds easy to follow it. Furthermore, the configuration is availably only via text files. And the most annoying is the lack of scrollback. But all the drawbacks will be fixed and implemented in the future.
