Hey there :] as someone still using termite today, thank you for your hard work.

Please note, that there is actually still a use case for VTE-based terminals: Many laptops popular with the libreboot crowd are based on the GM45 chipset with the GMA4500 iGPU (Thinkpad x200, T400, T500...), which does not support alacritty's requirement of OpenGL 3.3. (Though there is an alacritty branch which addresses this....) Especially for Wayland users, VTE based terminals always just worked.

But moving on is also part of software I guess, so many thanks for the years of excellent support.

Thank you for Termite!

Really enjoyed the snappiness and customizability of Termite I moved to Alacritty 3 years ago, from Termite for joining the hype train. Really appreciate the contributor's comment on obsolescence, all my respect for the decision! This would go down into my memory lane of Arch Linux Ricing Days.

This is really sad. I used termite on my rpi3, it can't run alacritty due to some missing opengl extensions in rpi3.

Anyway, thanks for the great app! ❤️

p.s. yep, switched to alacritty on work pc and quite happy with the choice.

Thank you very much for your work. Don't forget to archive your repo else people will try to file new bugs and prod you to fix them.
