Termite Is Dead. Dev Lashes Out At GNOME.
Channel: DistroTube
Date: 08/05/2021

The popular VTE-based terminal emulator known as Termite is now officially dead.  The main dev has decided to stop working on Termite.  He is telling everyone to switch to Alacritty and help contribute to that project.  He also has some not-so-nice things to say about the GNOME project, which maintain VTE.
