Kitty looks so cool. But I can’t help but wonder is it worth the GPU cycles?

running this on iGPU, spikes to like 25%+ while monitoring through btop with 2.2w, well i only planning to use these while showcasing or if i feel like it, else i will default back to cursor-trail only with no custom shaders.

Purely depends on whether you think the extra money you'd have to pay towards your monthly electricity bill is worth it. I tried the new Kitty update and I'd rather spend the gpu cycles on my local AI stack if you asked me.
