# Notability
## Issues
- Seems to misbehave with [[tmux - Terminal Multiplexer]] for some reason?
- Much slower to start than [[Wezterm]].
- A month later ([[2025-03-05]]) I built it again with the recommended optimization and it seems much faster and Tmux seems fine, even with my complicated setup.
# Philosophy
Created by the founder of [[Hashicorp]] and creator of [[Terraform (software)]].
# Platform Support
# Features
- Hits ~550 fps on my machine with the DOOM Fire test, which is around ~50 fps more than [[Wezterm]] (also an improvement that is probably unnoticeable to the bare eye)
