Also came here to say foot. Hands down the best terminal I've used.

Kitty was alright but I prefer a bitmap font in terminals and I'd rather have one that just lets me use it without having to do tricks which you have to do with Kitty.

Alacritty is also good but I don't care about X support at all.
