Comments about Alacritty as an Alternative to GNOME Terminal
BarrettAlacritty has better performance and customization. However, the feature-set is limited in comparison to GNOME Terminal
PavelRVersion 0.11.0 has a Windows installer. However, the config file is not installed, it needs to be copied from git. The default color scheme is poor. Generally, it's not ready for beginners yet, but it can be configured properly. It has no tabs, an important feature for me.
