I personally like GPM myself for some things but I rarely use it.
Terminal emulators

Damn, this is life changing, now I can update my packages in 10.255 seconds instead of 10.26 seconds because there will be slightly less delay imposed by the terminal emulator, thanks Zig Forums.

a meme until you use terminals in fullscreen or a tiling manager, it helps break up the completely black terminal so there's a bit of noise on the screen, completely subjective and if not pseudo at worst
extremely useful for floating window managers and/or the user hasn't learnt tmux/screen
combination of bloated shell (sh, dash, bash, fish, zsh, etc.) and blaoted terminal emulator
speed is a bit of a meme but could be a huge difference and keybindings because ctrl+c kills the process, so some sane defaults have shift+ctrl+c

it's tucked away in the gui options and you can disable it, it's bloated but it werks
completely missing the point, it's in the name
Joshua Wright
If you're compiling stuff (i.e. Gentoo) the speed difference can be quite noticeable

Which is bloat since those multiplexers exist. Look at a dvtm/abduco for something better.
Are you retarded? sh is a standard, not an implementation and how is dash bloated?
Latency, not throughput.
Use parallel jobs, nigger.

It probably means screen is malfunctioning. I had an small amber CRT that I picked up in '97 that was old as fuck and started doing wonky shit and then it just died altogether.
But good CRTs were pretty smooth and stable, even if the dot pitch might sucks ass in some cases, but was still good enough for low resolution like the old computers used. Actually I even had my Amiga 500 hooked up to a 19-inch TV for several months, and it was fine that way. Just had to set Workbench to 60-columns instead of 80, then it was readable. I even used Deluxe Paint like thata and it was fine. The Commodore 1080 monitors were a lot nicer though.

Here is my setup. The terminal emulator is WSLtty, running on Windows 10, using the Windows Subsystem for Linux + Ubuntu. The font is Fira Code, which has neat programming ligatures and is already patched with powerline symbols. The programs being run are tmux for multiplexing the various shells, neovim for editing, and bash for the shell.
