  • I guess this is an honest opinion

    I switched to Kitty because I felt that the increased speed produced a perceived improvement in my workflow.

    There’s probably no big reason. It’s just that text is printed much faster. There’s no huge gain, especially for general usage and most use cases. But why not? Why shouldn’t you use the gpu if you have one?

    If gpu would’ve been first, you’d wonder why you should use cpu if it’s slower. Faster is always(?) better and I as a user don’t really care if it is wayland or x11, why should I care about gpu or cpu? It just sounds great, but under the hood, it’s just a marketing stunt.

    It’s nice to have but I just don’t care. Like if earbuds last 6 or 8 hours. They charge within 5 or 10 minutes, why should I care? Or like losless audio. My headphones can’t play it, and more important I can’t hear a difference. It’s nice, I’ll take it, but I don’t care about it.
