Why would one need a gpu accelerated terminal? What's the use case here?
I mean, I've worked on connections offering a an mbit of throughput. That was enough for the kind of work I'm doing.
I really do not understand what this is for, can someone enlighten me please?
Font rendering is hard:

So much that Slug is a thing:
Opting into anything higher than 1920x1080 seems uncomfortable for me.
Maybe I just get old. I find it hard to read fonts on higher resolutions and it seems like other people do as well..
16pt Lucida Console on 1920x1080 just works way too well for me to even consider switching to anything else.
Of course, that came with some pains. Managing windows was time consuming, so i3 came into the picture. rxvt and st got slow, so zutty came to the rescue.
But I would be a liar if I didn't say that I miss 1024x768 with pixel-perfect fonts and UI widgets.
