#156: David Bombal: Windows Terminal Finally!

Microsoft have released a free, tabbed terminal application that allows you to use PowerShell, Command Prompt, Linux, SSH and much more! This is a great application and I think it replaces all those old or expensive options on the market! No need to use Putty anymore for SSH or Telnet. No need to pay huge amounts of money for other applications unless you really need specific functionality. Fantastic to now see an OpenSource Terminal application released in 2020. It's so easy now to have a tabbed application that supports Powershell, Command Prompt, Azure, WSL 2, SSH, Telnet and other applications. Windows Terminal supports a lot of customization - you can change fonts, colors, background images and a whole bunch of other options. wsl2 is a fantastic Microsoft Windows 10 development: You can run Linux directly on Windows using the windows subsystem for linux. In this video I demonstrate ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 using wsl2.
