Windows terminal is amazing, you can have a tabbed terminal with powershell, powershell 7, linux flavors, shell replacements, cygwin, cloud provider connections and much more.
In windows terminal, I use powershell for vmware vsphere administration and linux for ssh. The only main issue I have is ubuntu 22.04 gives ssh key errors with redhat servers. I have a redhat wsl for ssh ive been using.
I was a cygwin terminal user for decades. (work laptops are always locked down windows).
With linux in windows terminal, i've stopped using cygwin. I still sometimes use mobaterm (cygwin based), but even mobaterm allows tabbed environments like windows terminal. It even imports them. Also cygwin ssh works with redhat servers without ssh key issues.
- G3rn0ti 4y agoHow about docker support on Windows? Does it still require Hyper-V? That’s one of the biggest hurdles preventing Windows to become a dev environment at my work.
- IronWolve 4y agoI haven't installed docker in vmware linux os, but you can set nested acceleration, so it should work fine. I can get WSL2 to work in Win11 vm in vmware, so it should work fine.
- CoolCold 4y agoAny specific case on how Hyper-V is an issue with Docker support as you see it? Assuming you are talking about Docker containers with Linux, not containers with Windows, it's pretty well integrated even with WSL2 (on some news I've checked, from mid 2019 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/docker-desktop-for-windows-10-will-soon-switch-to-wsl-2/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/docker-deskto... ) which is Hyper-V based and doesn't stand in your way.
