Ghostty, the fast open-source GPU-accelerated terminal emulator by Mitchell Hashimoto, is now available in the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS universe repository. Users can install it with a simple `apt install ghostty` or via App Center. Ghostty 1.3.0 is packaged (not the latest release) and sits in the universe section, meaning it gets security coverage via Ubuntu Pro but no official Canonical support. Key features include native GTK4/libadwaita UI on Linux, Wayland compatibility, tabs, splits, ligature support, Kitty graphics protocol for in-terminal image rendering, and text-file-based configuration. It's particularly appealing for developers who switch between macOS and Linux.
