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.

Can't start Alacritty on TW
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

This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.

Cathode-Retro: A collection of shaders to emulate the display of an NTSC signal
Seems like a good spot to mention https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
Cool Retro Terminal is a nice accessory for when doing recording or screenshots - cause it looks cool. Can't use it as my daily driver tho.
And enough settings in there you can make it look like your favourite old one.

Does anyone know of a similar Windows equivalent to the now defunct Mac/iOS app "Cathode" ?
I'd guess most things you can get now are just regular command prompt style windows with a "retro" look (colour scheme). Oooh, you can change the text to green and maybe add a scan line effect. I am looking for a full experience like the Secret Geometry programs! The only similar-ish one I have found is Cool Retro Term, but that is for Linux and Mac only it seems :/

This together with cool-retro-term[1] is an absolute must on my machines for real hacker hours.

Cool Retro Terminal
I've enjoyed using this. I don't run it for long but I do run it sometimes for the sake of nostalgia. When I do run it, I run it in full screen for the complete experience. However, to balance practicality with nostalgia, I run a tmux session with the cool-retro-term, so that once I get tired of it, I can quickly switch back to my regular terminal without losing my terminal session.
The effects are configurable. I disable the settings named Burin, Glow Line, and RGB Shift to get crisper and less distracting experience. The RGB Shift setting is disabled for most built-in profiles anyway but enabled for some profiles like Vintage and IBM Dos. The Vintage profile is quite amusing. Everything is cranked way up. The blurry text and the incessant flickering of the screen create an unsettling impression that the monitor might break down any moment.
By the way, if you didn't notice it the app is named cool-retro-term and it abbreviates to CRT. The app icon[1] is also a CRT followed by the cursor. Guess what else abbreviates to CRT? Yes, "cathode-ray tube" of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors
