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.

    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.

      Also it has smart suggestions system which I really like. Initially it was on by default iirc, but nowadays I think you have to turn it on yourself. What it does is basically after you did any command like “ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx”, it will remember that and next time you start typing “ssh” it will automatically provide full command as autocompletion suggestion. It’s purely textual so it works with anything.

        Are Windows users just now getting this feature? I’ve had autosuggestions in my oh-my-zsh config for years.

          I’ve never seen it on Windows before Windows Terminal, but the latter has been around for a few years at least. I wouldn’t doubt we can have this and much more with Linux shells.

      I have tried this, but feels clunky to me. And the copy paste behaviour is kind of weird. Similar to cmd.

    Wezterm is available for windows. Still got some sharp edges. Windows terminal is pretty good though, even supports OSC 52 nowadays.

    I used just plain command prompt for a long time when I was on Windows, but I did find a nice one called Tabby. The only problem is getting it to run as your default terminal.

    I use Windows Terminal nowadays. It feels more clunky and slow than say, foot or kitty on Linux, but it’s functional.

    Before, I used to use PuTTY for ssh sessions, it feels more fluid, but it needs a lot of configuring to get the terminal behavior just right, and the settings UI is really outdated. It also doesn’t support WSL (unless you run sshd on WSL and ssh into the system).
