Not OP, but I've moved back to kitty because of ghostty horrendous startup time on linux

That's a one time cost though isn't it? It's a tradeoff, but once it is booted it's blazing though.

When I use the terminal, I spawn and kill a lot of instances for quick tasks. Having a longer startup times is definitely noticeable.

I figured that was an issue with the appimage for me. Did you install it a different way that you ran into that issue?

I'd say 100-200 ms is not horrendous but it can be much better without giving up on libghostty-vt :) check out Monstar.

Now, Monstar has a bizarre issue (at least in my setup) where it displays blank instead of capital A when used with Fixedsys Excelsior, for some reason. But hey it starts in under 10ms.
