Programs that use the native OS's APIs are "GPU accelerated", too. "GPU accelerated" editors and terminal programs are snake-oil, just another spin on "minimalist" text editors.

Instead, buy a high-refresh-rate monitor with good pixel response time and input latency. Probably 90% of the people reading this post are on a 60hz display, and many of those monitors may have noticeable input delay (Microsoft found that people can notice even just a few ms input/display delay.) Even just 75 hz or 100hz will feel noticeably nicer.

There are a couple of pretty inexpensive ~95hz monitors aimed at office users, but 2.7k ~150hz gaming monitors aren't that expensive if you shop carefully. Even nice ones with IPS and good color gamut/calibration.

Everything is nicer with higher refresh rates. Scrolling through web pages, file listings, editing text files, terminal sessions. Same is true of gaming mice; if you do a lot of mousework, a quality "gaming" wireless mouse is durable, has virtually zero input lag, great tracking, very accurate response to quick "flicks" letting you move windows and such around, and high polling rates. Default on most mice is around 120hz. Yes, you can tell the difference - though I have my mouse set to either 250hz or 500hz when not gaming, I forget which.

Edit: just to note that someone pointed out keyboards matter, too, and they're right Some keyboards can have over 50ms input delay, which when you think about it, is fucking nuts in the year 2022.

RTINGs tests for keyboard latency and their idea of "high latency" for a gaming keyboard can be 10ms. The difference between that and the fastest (1-2ms) keyboards is probably not worth selecting for over features like ergonomics and daily use factors.
