A few months ago, a new terminal emulator was released. It's called ghostty, and it has been a highly anticipated terminal emulator for a while, especially due to the coverage that it received from ThePrimeagen, who had been using for a while, while it was in private beta.

Is it crazy that I just use the default provided terminal emulator (Fedora/Gnome)? Why would I use something like this?

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago

If you like the default terminal use it for me i use terminals like this due to the gpu acceleration and stuff

What does the gpu acceleration do for you, I’ve never noticed a difference. Tbh I feel like I even get more latency

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.
