I've added `foot` to https://www.gilesorr.com/blog/linux-terminal-memory-usage.html . It only runs under Wayland, but fulfills most of my expectations and is surprisingly light on memory. _And_ it supports pixel-perfect images with `timg`, joining the small group of terms that do that.
Since installing I haven't been able to do copy-paste into or out of a `foot` window, which a deal-breaker if that's how it works. Am I missing something?
Evan: if Debian packages ghostty, I'd add it to the stats. :-) Although I'll also add that you can do terminal splitting with any terminal using `tmux`. Not saying that's better or worse, but might offer more choice.
FWIW: When I first installed it, `ghostty` was too new and wasn't in either the CachyOS repository or AUR. Now it's there, along with its terminfo entry. - Evan
