For my entire life, I have used Windows on my PC, and accessed Unix and Linux machines via PuTTY. My games and web browsers always just work, as do my programming tasks on the servers. I've never understood why this isn't recommended more. Windows and SSH, it's great!

- metalliqaz 8y agoFine, use your own. But PuTTY is free and easy to install, and it is enough to open the SSH connection that can then be used to launch any terminal emulator you want.
