About

Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance. The supported platforms currently consist of BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows. The software is considered to be at a beta level of readiness; there are a few missing features and bugs to be fixed, but it is already used by many as a daily driver.

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

    --filesystem=xdg-config
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
  • X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
    --socket=fallback-x11
  • GPU acceleration
    --device=dri
