Frankly, my shell startup time is that long. (fish, some configuration files, no effort at optimization)

That's a pretty hyper-optimized life, when 0.2 sec to get a command line is a problem.

This made me chuckle :D. I supposed you're right. On my work rig, 200ms is a dream, so I suppose kitty would be great.

For personal programming, I use i3 and sway. The latency difference between my work mac and personal Linux is insane. Every little bit feels like molasses on Linux since it's the lowest latency system I've ever used.
