I'm curious, why do you think anyone would want to run Alacritty (or any other terminal emulator) on the remote host?

The terminal emulator is something I run on my workstation (where the GPU is located), from which I SSH to the remote, where it makes no difference whether it has a GPU or not.

I mean the local computer for someone who want to run alacritty is also a virtual machine. Many companies have not provided physical machines any more. There are only virtual machines without GPU available for employees to work on the cloud, so the companies can save money and control everything, especially you can not bring anything away.

I believe this is a trend. Maybe one day just like IBM CEO Watson said he thought there was a world market "for maybe five computers".
