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.
Well as someone from Texas I need those extra cycles on my laptop to keep me warm when the power goes out. Did you think of that you selgjfjcmnf djdb jdjbdjcmosl??
This looks like it was made to justify those insane text editors with “GPU acceleration” as if text editing requires interop with Vulkan.

Just use space-bar heating.
Sadly that was patched out from the mainline, you have to run a custom kernel for that now
