Rio is a free and open-source GPU-accelerated terminal emulator powered by Rust and WebGPU for performance.[1][2][3]

The terminal is configurable to use as little or as much GPU as needed. Rio is also available as a native desktop application or as a Web application with WebAssembly.[4]

Rio is distributed on Arch Linux official extra packages[5], Manjaro Stable, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed[6], FreeBSD ports[7], Parabola[8], NixOS and Homebrew[9][10]
