Is it really that hard to add Windows support for these terminal projects? I understand they are more valued in Linux circles but it's not like nobody on Windows is using the terminal.




I've been using alacritty [0] for a while now. Really happy with it. I prefer it over the Windows Terminal, as it feels faster for me. I run a single instance with WSL on the desktop and use tmux for multiplexing. Executing powershell inside tmux isn't an issue. If I need an elevated shell, I use gsudo [1].

I asked the same question for years but then Windows Terminal appears out of no where and is a real godsend.

Yes it's the default in W11.

I am really happy with https://wezterm.org/

huh, didn't know wezterm was available for Windows. Awesome!
