Though iirc, if input latency is a concern, I recall st not excelling at that. I think foot is another minimal terminal emulator which promises better latency and performance. I personally use kitty, partly for native Wayland support and partly because GPU offloading seems like a fine idea on a desktop machine. Alacritty is another popular terminal emulator that has GPU acceleration.

When tested separately, "linux-st" seems to be at least as responsive as Alacritty, while on Mac OS it's the slowest by far: https://danluu.com/term-latency/https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/https://danluu.com/term-late... All that said I currently use Alacritty because benchmarks are not everything and I much prefer Alacritty's font rendering (aside from missing ligature support).
