In short: it's a terminal emulator where rendering is completely run by GL ES compute shaders. It allows for GPU-accelerated performance on low-end SBCs.
Said to be very stable, runs for months, compliant enough to run Emacs with mouse support.
I’ve used this but it made my laptop spontaneously reboot a few times (or was it a hard lockup that necessitated a reboot)? I liked it but ended up putting it away.
Dual GPU nvidia and integrated Intel, was running the latest Ubuntu LTS at the time with all updates.
It kind of seems weird to put unicode in the name but not support astral characters, combining characters or bidi.
I understand these things are complicated for terminals but its weird to so thoroughly emphasize unicode and then not do a significant portion of unicode.
My workday is 95% terminal, I work on a company managed windows 11 machine using git-scm as an easily updateable min-gw environment. A git-bash has been my configurable linux terminal on windows.
Why would one need a gpu accelerated terminal? What's the use case here?
I mean, I've worked on connections offering a an mbit of throughput. That was enough for the kind of work I'm doing.
I really do not understand what this is for, can someone enlighten me please?
