WezTerm

WezTerm is a terminal emulator and a multiplexer in a single program. Most setups assemble that pair from two tools, one to draw the text and another for panes and sessions that survive a disconnect. Here both sides ship in one binary and share one configuration.

It is implemented in Rust and its rendering is GPU accelerated. The user facing guide, the installation steps and the configuration reference live on a separate documentation site rather than in the repository, which is why the README itself stays short.

Some facts shape what running it is actually like.

• GPU accelerated rendering: drawing is handed to the graphics card rather than the processor.
• Multiplexer included: tabs, panes and persistent sessions come from the terminal itself, with no second tool to configure.
• Written in Rust: the emulator is implemented in Rust by its author, who maintains it directly.
• Documented off site: installation and configuration are published on the project website, kept apart from the source tree.
• Community support: the GitHub issue tracker, GitHub Discussions and a Matrix room are where questions get answered.

WezTerm is a spare time project by its author, funded through GitHub Sponsors, Patreon, Ko-Fi and Liberapay. That is worth knowing when you pick a terminal for a team: the software is free to install on every platform it supports, and the pace of support reflects the hours one maintainer can give it.
