			<!--T:1-->
			'''Kitty''' is a modern, fast, GPU-based terminal emulator written in Python and C. It leverages graphics hardware for high performance and offers features like tabs, layouts, and GPU-based rendering. Kitty is available in the NixOS ecosystem and can be configured through various methods.<ref>https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/</ref>

			<translate>
			<!--T:4-->
			To install Kitty, add it to either the system-wide <code>environment.systemPackages</code> in <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code> or to the user-specific <code>home.packages</code> in <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix</code>.<ref>https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/</ref>
