I am looking some recommendations for a terminal emulator from windows to login to Linux via ssh+tmux and also connect to WSL.
It needs to have support for multiple tabs, would be nice if it also had split window support. And mostly should feel like a Linux terminal emulator.
I am mostly used to konsole, so something like that would be preferable. I have been using alacritty, but no tabs makes me feel weird.
Windows Terminal
It is preinstalled on Windows 11
Microsoft Terminal supports tabs and custom profiles. It can host Azure CLI, PowerShell, CMD.exe, and Bash.
Windows ships with openssh that is usable in any of the supported cli.I use it all the time for work to ssh into systems.
Microsoft’s installed ssh has a phone home behaviour, it logs the server IP you connected to back to the MS mothership during your login.
I have tried this, but feels clunky to me. And the copy paste behaviour is kind of weird. Similar to cmd.
You can modify that in the configs.
Honestly, after using Windows and Linux side-by-side for 25 years, the new Windows Terminal is the best terminal emulator they ever made.
Wow, had to spend couple if hours configuring it. Almost as nice as konsole.
Wezterm
I use wezterm. It’s more configurable than the windows terminal and also works on linux. It has an appropriately linux-y feel imo.
I have been using Tabby for a couple of years and I can recommend it
I just use git-bash, I don’t know how it gets installed though. Source tree maybe?
Just straight vanilla powershell is pretty good

Wrong sub. Perhaps you want !windows@sopuli.xyz ?
