It's not everyday that I give Microsoft praise, but damn, the new Windows Terminal is... Surprisingly decent.

Together with WSL2, it allowed me to switch from working in a VM to working fully from Windows.

And with little tweaking of the settings file, it acts exactly the way I like.

Good job creating something modern, almost universal and usable Microsoft!

    @notSoCoolGuy Never used VSCode as I'm not a programmer or a developer, I take care of server administration instead :P

    Most of the time, I work remotely through an SSH session anyway. So all that matters is the GUI and usability functions.

    Windows Terminal is awesome, makes sshing to Linux workstation servers so pleasant

    Plus the CRT retro shader effect is awesome

    Windows Terminal is mostly okay. Definitely a huge step-up from anything they've done before.

    WSL2 is going to cause you issues, though. WSL1 has been absolutely great for me (aside from the root escalation vulnerability I found...) WSL2 has been having a TON of issues for people corrupting files and whatnot.
