Kitty, hands down. GPU accelerated; native image protocol implemented by ranger, neofetch, and more; incredibly customizable; multiplexing with multiple windows and tabs; ligature support; and much more

If anybody has any questions about it, swing on over to Kitty Terminal Emulator [!kittyterimal@midwest.social]

How often do you use images inside a terminal?

Why having a Gpu-accelarated terminal? The computational power used by the graphical rendering of a terminal is minimal...

what kind of benefit can i expect from a gpu accelerated terminal?

I've been using it for a while now, and it is fine. But it is very often that I open htop and kitty is one of the big cpu wasters. Maybe I've configured something wrong? But yeah, sure, works.
