#13Konsole is faster than Alacritty, but much easier to configure.
uxterm is the fastest.
Latency in milliseconds
Program mean std min 90% max
uxterm 1.7 0.3 0.7 2 2.4
mlterm 1.8 0.3 0.7 2.2 2.5
Konsole 13.4 1.2 11.5 15 16.1
Alacritty 15.1 1.2 12.8 15.9 26.3Re: What's a good Linux terminal emulator that doesn't try to reinvent TMUX?
#14What's wrong with the default in whatever distro you're using?

Those Alacritty numbers look an awful lot like reporting framerate tuning rather than underlying performance (16.6ms latency being one frame at 60hz).

#16I use Guake, mostly to bring up the "console" as a full screen overlay, like you would with Quake :)
As a former Guake user, I recommend you to try Tilix.

#17In some sense it's not a good terminal emulator (I hit several glitches in it on macOS, though it seems to do better on my NixOS machine), but I'm in love with cool-retro-term for its gorgeous CRT-style visuals.

I mention it because it doesn't have tabs, saved sessions, or any of the other features tmux handles.
So, it's not a bad fit for heavy tmux users.

#18I love Konsole, it's super customizable and easy to use.

#19A terminal emulator is a high-value large attack surface that any hacker worth his salt would love to get into the supply chain. Therefore, unless your Unix machines are toys, it's a good idea to stick to reputable and well-maintained software, and for me that means what's in the distro's default repos. Every time you add third-party gunk you open yourself up to exploits from God knows where.

#20If you're using Wayland, foot is fast, lightweight, and has good color and font support: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot
