kitty
GPU-accelerated terminal emulator with image and multiplexer support.
kitty is a fast, feature-rich Linux terminal emulator written in C and Python. It renders text via OpenGL, supports tabs and split windows natively, and pioneered the "kitty graphics protocol" for displaying images inline in the terminal — a protocol now supported by several other terminals.
kitty offers a kitten (small extension) ecosystem for tasks like diffing, hex editing, and SSH integration, and is one of the most widely used modern Linux terminals.
