Alacritty vs Byobu

Alacritty is an open-source, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator focused on simplicity and performance. It uses OpenGL for rendering, making it one of the fastest terminal emulators available. Alacritty is configured through a YAML file and intentionally omits features like tabs and splits, relying on terminal multiplexers like tmux for those capabilities.

Byobu is an open-source text-based window manager and terminal multiplexer built on top of tmux or GNU Screen. It provides an enhanced interface with status notifications, keybindings, and session management.
