About:
Rio is a terminal emulator built with Rust that leverages GPU acceleration via WebGPU for high-performance rendering. It focuses on providing a smooth, modern terminal experience with features like ligature support, true color, and minimal resource usage.
|
Key Features:
- GPU-accelerated rendering via WebGPU
- True color and ligature support
- Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Low resource consumption
- Configurable theming and key bindings
|
Use Cases:
- High-performance terminal usage for developers
- Running GPU-intensive command-line applications
- Everyday terminal tasks with enhanced visual clarity
|
Alternatives:
-
Alacritty
– Also GPU-accelerated but uses OpenGL, while Rio uses WebGPU for broader GPU compatibility
-
Kitty
– GPU-accelerated with extensive feature set, but Rio focuses on simplicity and modern Rust/WebGPU stack
