from the README.md:

[konsole](https://konsole.kde.org/) is the default terminal emulator of the KDE desktop environment. Using libvte brings it good unicode support but it doesn't have as good line-wrap support as gnome-terminal: expanding a window doesn't flow the lines back again. Like gnome-terminal, it also features profile support but also includes interesting features like bookmarks and activity / silence notifications.

konsole has never been using libvte. It's actually all natively implemented.

i just wanted to drop this side note. Maybe you also have an interest to reevaluate your benchmark at some point? There are some interesting new projects (native terminals) since the time you started, and also the existing ones have improved since then. Apart from that, good work. :) 👍

interesting that this crept up in the README. happy to take a PR to fix this. thankfully, the actual articles don't seem to have that error:

thanks for the nice words. i don't plan to make an update just yet, i guess i'm likely to just wait for things to stabilise a bit. also, i am not sure there's proper tooling to do this in wayland.
