Great write-up, but I also want to point out that alacritty is pre-packaged for many Linux distros. On Fedora, I could just run sudo dnf install alacritty. Definitely useful information here either way, and I agree that their homepage does not make this clear at all, but you can likely skip the whole Docker thing unless you have a specific need to run the build manually.
Yeah, that's a good point. I did try to install it that way in Ubuntu without success, but it is something worth checking. I saw it was briefly mentioned in the readme, but in the home page links directly to build instructions.
