      I mean, it’s a terminal emulator; what’s it supposed to show, a bunch of white text on black background?

        It supposedly supports fancy features, so I’m curious to see how those look, they also say it’s got top of the line speed, so maybe a screencast with side by side of reference terminal emulator (xterm?) and ghostty displaying heavy throughput output to see the smoothness goodness

          A screencast cannot really capture that. Practically any terminal is fast enough to render a shitton of text quickly and “smoothly”.

          The difference in speed can only really be felt.

          W.r.t. UI, it looks exactly like you’d expect a GTK4/adwaita terminal emulator to look.

            By “can only be felt” do you mean in the way it affects the performance of your system?

              No terminal emulator ever should affect the performance of the rest of your system.

              I mean that totally w.r.t. how it feels to interact with the terminal emulator.

                Sorry, what does w.r.t. stand for?

                No terminal emulator ever should affect the performance of the rest of your system.

                No idea honestly, people are saying that certain heavy output programs might just slow down the execution of other graphics related processes because text is usually expensive to draw, haven’t tried it myself

                  with regard/respect to

                  Whoever told you text is expensive to draw has no idea what they’re talking about.
