The Alacritty terminal (https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/ https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/) project landed Windows support somewhat recently, and is now generally the fastest, cross-platform terminal emulator out there. Written in Rust, and GPU accelerated.
I'm not personally a heavy Windows user, but the advantage of a single terminal on all systems is really huge to me.
The most notable feature listed in this article to me is that it too will have "GPU-accelerated text rending".
- timvisee 8y agoI'm really interested in performance comparisons between the two once the Microsoft's terminal releases.
- zamadatix 8y agoAlacritty's claims of performance (latency or throughput) are somewhat dubious. It'll be interesting to see the two compared. The Windows port is still (naturally) rough around the edges. I think it'll get smoothed out when they switch the backend to conpty though.
