From 3d7b16d4b0d867268c315f421904f3a2dc81a72d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Duerr Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 20:05:19 +0000 Subject: Update Alacritty's description Alacritty's description in the readme and manpage has always been a bit overly aggressive in its marketing. This new updated text should more accurately describe Alacritty's current state without pointlessly agitating people. --- extra/alacritty.man | 14 ++++++-------- extra/linux/Alacritty.desktop | 2 +- extra/linux/io.alacritty.Alacritty.appdata.xml | 19 ++++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) (limited to 'extra') diff --git a/extra/alacritty.man b/extra/alacritty.man index e620ea65..2d15c2f9 100644 --- a/extra/alacritty.man +++ b/extra/alacritty.man @@ -1,14 +1,13 @@ .TH ALACRITTY "1" "August 2018" "alacritty 0.7.0-dev" "User Commands" .SH NAME -alacritty \- a cross-platform, gpu-accelerated terminal emulator +Alacritty \- A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator .SH "SYNOPSIS" alacritty [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] .SH DESCRIPTION -Alacritty is a terminal emulator with a strong focus on simplicity and -performance.
