No tab-completion in the terminal?!?! _Literally_ unusable. (But for serious, this is a _very_ clean interface, I like it a lot.)

Hint: there's an "AppData" folder - Did you expect a decent CLI from what is obviously a Windows box?

  Jokes aside, the new Windows Terminal is actually pretty good.

    It's excellent for typing in 'wsl'. More seriously though the new Windows Terminal isn't what provides autocomplete, that's the shell. Powershell probably has okay autocomplete. In Windows the distinction has always blurred a bit.

      I've recently given up on unix-type shells on Windows. Whether it's WSL1, WSL2, WSLg, MSYS2 or Cygwin, there's always compatibility quirks or performance issues that just reminds me that "it's not Linux". So I decided to just bite the bullet and go all in on PowerShell. It's still not a great default CLI experience but it can be made acceptable with plugins. But the real strength is in scripting, it's a good mix of high-level language and shell terseness.

You also cannot close the terminal because `exit` does nothing.

  "logout", though, takes you back to the uh, root directory (which contains nothing except your user dir). It doesn't log you out though, since there's no users or privileges anyway. Which seems like a rather major oversight.

  Sorry about that. It should be fixed now.

  Typing `exit` in terminal killed my Chrome with all 20+ tabs. Restoring previous session after restarting Chrome -> killed Chrome with all tabs again, and again, and again... Only thing that helped was killing Puter tab really fast before it loaded.
