Yep this is my current favorite too. I liked ghostty when I evaluated it, but for some reason it uses an order of magnitude more memory than foot to display a single, empty terminal.


Ghostty uses GTK + GPU rendering while Foot uses Wayland primitives and CPU rendering.


I've seen zero performance issues with foot.


My comment was not to imply that Ghostty performed better than Foot. Foot is a great terminal.
