Ghostty, a high-performance GPU-accelerated terminal developed by Mitchell Hashimoto, is now available in the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS repositories via `apt install`. Designed to feel native on both macOS (Swift) and Linux (GTK4/libadwaita), it offers a lightweight, bloat-free alternative to the default Ptyxis.
* **Native Performance:** Seamless integration with system APIs using GTK4/libadwaita (Linux) and Swift (macOS).
* **Feature-Rich:** Supports terminal splits, tabs, ligatures, emoji clustering, and the Kitty graphics protocol.
* **Easy Installation:** Available in the Ubuntu "universe" repository via App Center or `sudo apt install ghostty`.
* **Cross-Platform Optimization:** Provides a consistent workflow for developers moving between macOS and Linux.
