I suppose you have seen https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728, but if |
| 13 |
not, I will link it for you. Anyone following along who hasn't read it |
| 14 |
might be inclined to do so. |

I would suggest looking at: |
| 29 |
*) https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty |
| 30 |
*) https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Both of which are OpenGL accelerated. Unfortunately I'm not entirely |
| 33 |
sure why sakura is slow. Finding out might be worthwhile. Alacritty is |
| 34 |
the shiniest, but unfortunately the rust build and setup process looks |
| 35 |
very insecure, similar to Haskell. Take into account that those |
| 36 |
languages are experimental. |

Tabs are probably a stretch though I admit they are a useful feature. |
| 47 |
I would recommend that if you find a Desktop Environment that has a |
| 48 |
program you like you simply use it though the look may clash with your |
| 49 |
other programs. It's hard enough to find programs that do what you |
| 50 |
want on Linux. |

Nothing really seems to do what I want, and that may translate into |
| 56 |
nothing really doing what you want. |

Check the list on that gist - may as well keep trying them until you |
| 69 |
find one that you like. |
