Interesting, I remember (u?)xterm being screen tearing fast at the Athlon times. Wondering what changed since then, cause blitting glyphs onto a surface at 60-144 fps wasn’t a big deal even then. Modern terminals feel like dot matrix printers compared to it, but I always assumed it’s because of using GtkTextView or something like that for rendering. Requiring a GPU and not just some form of direct-blit API is something insane to me.
