Comments about Alacritty as a Alternative to GNOME Terminal
BarrettAlacritty has better performance and customization. However, the feature-set is limited in comparison to GNOME Terminal
0PavelRVersion 0.11.0 has a Windows installer. However, the config file is not installed, it needs to be copied from git. The default color scheme is poor. Generally, it's not ready for beginners yet, but it can be configured properly. It has no tabs, an important feature for me.

Comments about WezTerm as a Alternative to GNOME Terminal
PavelRI tried all open-source programs in this list, and WezTerm is my choice. It has multiple tabs. It renders full-screen text interfaces correctly. It implements copy-and-paste in a Linux way and handles Shift properly. The only downside is that the configuration is a lua program, but it's well documented, and the configuration is a one-time effort.
