I started my journey with urxvt, and was seeking better rendering. Alacratty+tmux (with urxvt keybindings) was working well, and I learned to deal with the "auto resize" when moving windows between screens with different DPIs. I tried wezterm from a thread here, and the emoji rendering (a feature I've never relied on before, but nice to have) was better than on alacritty, and stuck with it. Learned to work with it's tabs + extra features, and stuck around for a bit. Liked that I could run the same terminal on Linux + Windows.

I liked wezterm, and it's flexibility, but like I mentioned that GPU bug was killer. I'd have love to help diagnose it, but I'm not sure where to begin. Kitty did most of what wezterm did, and I just stuck with it since. The timestamp on my kitty.conf is 2021-09-11, so it looks like that was the last time I had to tweak it after starting to use it, and I'm happy thus far.
