Which Terminal Are you using on Windows 10 Right Now?

K M H Mubin on November 11, 2020

Hello Everyone 👋
Currently I using Cmder console. It's a pretty good console with a lot of customization. But it has small speed issues compare to git bash or build-in terminal. I'm looking for a new terminal that solves these issues. Any Suggestion?

Thank you.

Mostly Ubuntu from WSL windows linux subsystem (mostly used for ansible & docker), sometimes nodeJs console.

Sometimes the new powershell too, seems to work pretty decently.

With some proper fonts & color, everything is tolerable ^^

To be honest it's kinda a pain to set up, but it's pretty usefull once it's done, and it avoid VMs or dual boots.

Also note that it isn't a straight linux, there a re some minor differences, so go get some info on this before going in ^^'

I started using the new windows terminal with the Starship shell and I'm looking it a lot. Also the windows terminal allows you access wsl really easily

I'm using the new windows terminal, it's fast and works really fine, I'd only like for it to be a little bit more customizable for keyboard shortcuts, but I can live with it for now

It's not fast. If I dump a log to the terminal on a Mac or Linux box that takes, say, 2 seconds to display... it'll take 30 seconds on Windows terminal.

That said, it's an ok terminal and it does everything I need.

Linux is awesome. I'm using Ubuntu on my another pc. I change the look by using oh my zsh and powerlevel10k.

Terminus, i've chosen it as it's cross platform and i've not had to change any settings
