Yeah. It's slow on Linux, for sure. I use Foot, which as far as I've tested is the fastest to launch. I use Niri and launch Foot terminals all the time as part of my workflow (it's just how my mind works), so time to launch matters to me.
replyMonstar is a libghostty derivative that resembles foot: https://github.com/rockorager/monstar
replyNamely it is wayland only, cpu rendered, and doesn't have any window decorations
Yep, same here but with xfce4-terminal.
replyI've just reverted back to using that as it's faster to load and has all the features I need.
