I don't think there are any more terminals for me to test on. Newer terminals in the future will probably be gpu accelerated and as a consequence it consumes a lot of ram.


Not sure what the ram consumption is, but i've always found RoxTerm to be light and efficient (YMMV of course). I'm not using xlibre (yet) but hopefully soon. :)

Ram consumption = ram usage. Tried out RoxTerm. Is also lightweight, Eats up 55mb of ram only. Seems to be slower than xterm, but just as stable. No crashes. Although like most terminals, when typing within the password prompt the blinking pattern is still disrupted. It is more user friendly to config compared to the others due to it having a GUI, but is limited in configuration. Overall decent.

termite is for whatever reason dependent on systemd.

UPD: actually it can be compiled without systemd support, but still it's undeveloped anymore.

Is this the one you're referring to? https://github.com/thestinger/termite
If yes, it's obsolete. 4 years of no commits. And the readme has recommended to use alacritty instead.
If not, can give me the link?

This is slightly newer fork.

I used to use termite couple of years ago on Arch (even when it was obsolete) - it was quite pleasant experience. Don't know how it would feel today.

Yeah, version 16.1 and onwards requires soystemd. Gonna have to pass on this one. No idea why on earth would the dev do this.
