Who is truly bad for Linux:
Linus and Stallman who provide outstanding contributions (technically)
OR
GNOME & GTK project Devs who quietly screw over people trying to provide great products to the Linix Community?
What do we care more about?
Technical contribution or personality?
Which typically are mutually exclusive as great brains usually don't have time for social norms and mores - look at Turing..

Alacritty is lacking a lot of features that really any modern terminal should have, it doesn't even have support for ligatures. I would recommend kitty instead.
Alacritty is still a great terminal emulator, I've used it myself. But when I tried kitty and saw all of the really useful features it has while being just as fast as Alacritty, it didn't make sense for me to use Alacritty.

Could anyone explain, what does -fast terminal emulator with good performance- mean? I mean, it's just an emulator, how couldn't it be fast? I have no issue with st, which I'm currently on, same as I had no performance issues with gnome-terminal or urxvt. Why does anyone need GPU acceleration for terminal emulator?

You know? Each and every time I heard about GNOME working with anyone else's, the story is plagued with -GNOME doesn't give a dingdong- to the point it is not even funny anymore. How would anyone would like to contribute to GNOME/GTK when there is seemingly this amount of hostility from them?

I-ve used Konsole, Termite, Kitty, and Alacritty and honestly all of them are great. It-s sad to see termite fade, but the dev is right... Alacritty really is amazing.
If you really like customization and theming, look at kitty because it-s like heaven for ricing!

I have never even thought about Termite, but I'm now interested in trying out Alactritty :) It's not however available for Linux Mint (although I'm planning to distro hop) through repositories, I think I'ma have to compile it from... --du du duum-- The Source.

Yeah seems like GNOME maintainers are really not looking to run a library.
They basically said:
We would like this functionality, but only if we do it ourself. Your downstream improvements won-t improve the GNOME terminal, and therefore doesn-t benefit us.

It's not only GTK/GNOME. Most projects are pretty hostile against changes from outside, but GTK/GNOME is definitely one of the most complicated to work with, and that they almost have no manpower on their own to fix and expand libraries is making it so sad.

I don't care if Gnome would do my job for me and I could sit back and play games all day. I -still- wouldn't use it. If you actually care about truly free software at all, you shouldn't be using it either.
Gnome needs to die in a fire.

Alacrity.. Wasn't that one the terminal emulator that despite being written in Rust (which has beloved TOML config format) insist on using awful YAML as the exclusiv config format and shuts down anyone suggesting alternatives?
