GPU rendering
Draw terminals with WebGL for smooth fast output, with an automatic fallback.
GPU rendering
Kubexer Terminal draws terminals with WebGL on your graphics card. Fast, continuous output, such as kubectl logs -f, tail -f on a busy log, or a large build, stays smooth and doesn't load the CPU.
How to use it
GPU rendering is on by default. To change it, open Settings → Terminal → Rendering and switch GPU acceleration.
The setting applies to this computer only. It doesn't sync, so you can turn it off on one machine and keep it on another.
When to turn it off
Turn it off if:
- text looks blurry, garbled, or has missing characters;
- the terminal flickers or shows corrupted areas after the window moves between monitors;
- you're on a virtual machine or remote desktop with poor GPU support.
With it off, terminals use the browser's standard DOM renderer. It's slower with heavy output, but works everywhere.
Automatic fallback
If WebGL can't start, or the graphics context is lost (for example after a driver update or sleep), the terminal falls back to the standard renderer on its own. You don't lose the session or its scrollback.
