Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster
Meanwhile, all GNOME-based terminals are still capped at 40fps:

Ask HN: What is your fav “I can't believe in 2022 this still doesn't work right”
Low latency is still available. Get a fast gaming keyboard/mouse/monitor/NVMe SSD. Use a latency-tuned kernel, e.g. with full preemption enabled. Disable swap and run a userspace OOM killer to avoid the problems this would otherwise cause. Run Xorg with compositing disabled and TearFree disabled. Disable vsync everywhere. Don't use software that caps the framerate low (e.g. terminals using libvte[0]). Turn off all UI animations.
Most software I used feels more responsive than anything from the Windows 95 era.

Isn't there a way to fork VTE to have ligatures support?
In any case, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte

xfce4-terminal: No more bold fonts in 4.16?
I'm glad I listed them, I think you are right that it has to do with the library. Seems like they changed the way bold fonts are handled in this commit: https://github.com/GNOME/vte/commit/59e11fd751806876dc1a28c9c6d9a17d75db57d2. They also talk about it here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/323.

Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster
I favor kitty[0] and zutty[1].
Gnome terminal / libvte is and has always been slow, and alacritty might have good throughput, but sadly is high latency.

Latest Kitty terminal release features SRGB correct linear gamma blending
Why no love for Zutty (https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty)? It's far more feature-complete than Kitty or Alacritty, without sacrificing much in way of performance or latency.

Sorry for being offtopic. I came across an alternative to Alacritty recently: https://github.com/tomszilagyi/zutty

im using terminal to cd into a git folder and the terminal just closes. why?
5k lines of poorly organized C code with poor naming conventions, nasty macros and global state, that's not something you read and reason about, that's something you delete and rewrite. Compare st's code with zutty's, a project of similar size.

Kitty: The fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal emulator
Zutty is also cool: https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty/
It's correct (like XTerm) while still being very fast.

Someone worked with Zutty (Terminal) and OpenBSD ?
I appreciate the suckless project and managed to build my own dwm/dmenu/surf/slock stuff, but was not able to configure st for my needs. Big drama, again and again. Yes i can build it (or take it from ports), i can patch it, but it never satisfied me (displaying fonts, scrolling issues - yes i know of 'scroll' and configured that - and so on.... ) I was spending countless hours, but in the end and for me - it does'nt feel well and i skip it - again. So i was looking for alternatives and stumbled over: https://github.com/tomszilagyi/zutty
