Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.

Well I'm glad it works for you. Also I don't think it runs under wine so you are stuck on Windows.

Yeah, when I used it, every command had like a second of delay. It was also buggy. But it has tabs and you can even split the window into multiple panes. So big improvement over cmd.

How long ago did you try it? I gave the first iteration of wsl a chance and had the same experience, it was super slow especially for things like ls. Its a lot better since wsl2. Probably 90% or more the performance of bare metal install of linux

I used it last year on Windows 10 (I was forced to use Windows by my employer). I didn't use it with WSL, just with Git Bash.

Also forced to use windows for work. That wasn't the windows terminal program being slow, that was git bash.

Ah, interesting. I didn't realise that it was slow.
