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.

      foot is such a lovely little program. It has everything I want for a terminal emulator: it launches instantly, it has zero lag, no fluff, excellent font rendering, excellent copy/paste handling, excellent compatibility, and it’s easily configurable and themable via a sensible, well documented config file.

      TFW I realize I am a foot fetishist … 😮

    My gnome-terminal had some issues with nerd fonts so I started term jumping again. Went back to alacritty but quickly remembered that it doesn’t have tabs and even quicker apt removed this piece of trash. I didn’t even try kitty again after remembering how stupid it is to use it with ssh. Tried wezterm, everything worked like a charm, still using it. If it gives me any trouble I will try Ghostty, looks nice.
