I try to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) whenever possible, even though I have VMware and VirtualBox available. One thing that WSL terminal lacks is "tab" that all other terminals have. So, that calls for Screen and Tmux. But, which one? And, why?
Another option: an X server on the windows box and xterm (or whatever terminal you want). As many windows as you want. Sensible(ish) cut and paste, unlike the WSL terminal.
There are rumours that WSL will get a major upgrade very soon, with a native terminal with all the features.
Microsoft name for the current terminal is "Windows Console", I'm told. The new terminal is "Windows Terminal". I tried it. I know it's "preview", but all it does is crash on me. It starts up with Power Shell tab, and you can create Power Shell, Cmd, or WSL tabs later. -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca>
