Was looking for a terminal that can render LazyVim. It's looking like Alacritty (definitely not ghostty).

kitty has two problems, one is called kovid goyal, and the other, kovid goyal having been one-shotted by the autoconfabulators.

My problem with kitty is, it didn't work for the languages I use, and when I complained the dev said he doesn't care about non-European languages. Alacritty works well for Japanese for me, including input methods, but sadly not for Arabic or other bidi.
