  • kitty

    Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

  • All you need is a GPU that supports OpenGL ES >= v3.30, in Kitty's and Alacritty's cases anyway, which I think they're the most GPU-demanding terminals. It doesn't matter if it's an iGPU or dGPU.

  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
