    On my machine, neovim is visibly faster on uxterm over alacritty, another gpu-accelerated terminal emulator, so I’m not going to bother trying ghostty. Also, I don’t have gtk4 on my computer now. I don’t see the need to install it just for a terminal emulator. In addition to xterm, I also have xfce4-terminal (included with the Xfce desktop environment I’ve been using since Gnome 2 went away) for when I want font-fallback support or a drop-down terminal.

      Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

      Sounds pretty cool honestly
