It uses the GPU to accellerate the calculations it needs to make which results in a more responsive terminal, some commands like tree also seem to run faster. Check out this video from DistroTube: The terminal emulator is still in beta and does not have any GUI to edit the settings, all settings need to be defined in a YAML config file.<p>I&rsquo;ve recently come across a new terminal emulator called <a href="https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty">Alacritty</a>, it is a new terminal emulator written in Rust.

It also does not (yet) have tab funcionality, you&rsquo;ll need to open a new window every time you want another terminal. Of course you could use something like <a href="https://github.com/tmux/tmux">tmux</a> to work around that problem.</p>
