Alacritty, Kitty, Darktile.

How do they compare? Are there significant differences or are they just marginally different one from the other?

Alacritty still doesn't have ligatures support, per their doc

Kitty has fully featured window management built in, also kittens

Darktile seems to be simpler.

There's also wezterm, which is also GPU accelerated, supports ligatures and is written in rust, so it's probably faster than kitty/darktile as well

On Linux, I found it to be super slow. TUI apps like neovim were sluggish in certain contexts. I couldn't figure out how to increase text throughput either. The developer seems more focussed on maintaining MacOS performance (I'm not complaining, just warning any linux users).
