Description
I am a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Linux user. Since v3.x.x of Hyper, the app has become more and more buggy and has started to provide very bad user experience (close to being unbearable...). To convince yourself, just run top and resize the Hyper window from left to right, then right to left, several times. You'll see that Hyper gets stuck as the rendering crashes. Some other times when Hyper doesn't completely crashes, the rendering provides bad aliasing as in #5817.
I have decided to fallback to v2.1.2. I have retried this above experiment and the rendering no longer crashes. This is the tool I need. As long as rendering problems of v3 are not solved, I will stick to v2.1.2. How do I remove the update notifications in v2.1.2. I have tried the various workarounds from closed issues (#2599, #2605) but none of them worked.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 20.04 by running top and repeatedly resizing the Hyper window from left to right and back. Compare v3.x.x with v2.1.2, including the rendering crash and aliasing described in #5817; the work is done when resizing no longer breaks rendering and the update-notification behavior is addressed.
