I’ve recently come across a new terminal emulator called Alacritty, it is a new terminal emulator written in Rust. It uses the GPU to accellerate the calculations it needs to make which results in a more responsive terminal, some commands like tree also seem to run faster. Check out this video from DistroTube: The terminal emulator is still in beta and does not have any GUI to edit the settings, all settings need to be defined in a YAML config file.
