    It doesn’t require, but it runs better on GPU. It’s not for nothing that modern terminal emulators like Kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty, and Wezterm ship with GPU support. Sure, they just “render text”, but it is a rendering workload that is highly parallelizable. There’s no reason to waste CPU cycles with that.
