How does its startup time compare to other launchers (rofi or tofi for example)

I never actually measured it, but I switched to fuzzel from wofi, and I can’t tell the difference in reaction time. To me it feels instant.

I’ve tested them all and they all launch fairly immediately.

I discuss some of the other feature differences here:

I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.

Love fuzzel—it’s pretty performant, even with a few thousand options to pick from.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
