So if I'm using Ubuntu, I'm supposed to set-up a Rust toolchain and keep it updated to be able to install Alacritty?

  The good news is, the rust toolchain is probably one of the easiest to install and update, of almost any programming language. https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

  Deal-breaker. But now I know about Kitty, which is supposed to be faster.

  They included a deb until this release :-/ There are packages in the Pop OS PPA[1] I am planning on using. (They haven't added 0.5 yet.). I won't add the PPA, just download and install the deb. It looks like this release has been published to crates.io[2], which was a blocker to getting alacritty packaged in Debian[3], so hopefully soon it will be added and synced to Ubuntu. 1: https://launchpad.net/~system76/+archive/ubuntu/pop/+packages https://launchpad.net/~system76/+archive/ubuntu/pop/+package... 2: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/357#issuecomment-667449072 https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/357#issuecomme... 3: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851639 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851639
