WSL2 came out (in non-preview version) last month and is a vital improvement. Windows Terminal is still pre-1.0 as is the CUDA and DirectX on Linux stuff. Then give it a bit of time to percolate through, technically and socially.

Windows Terminal 1.0 has been out for a bit, the current version is 1.0.1401.0 [0]

I guess the writing’s on the wall now. The latest lines of Apple products have been all been disappointing to me: laptops and phones without ports, keyboards that break, silly gimmicks all about — and a smartwatch that I developed a skin rash from so bad I still have it now, four months after having stopped using the watch.
CUDA was always the big thing for me, I use CUDA and develop with it — AMD and Apple have missed their shot on this, in an absolutely massive way. Alienate developers with centralized app stores and huge fees, then alienate researchers by picking a fight with the biggest name in the GPU industry while providing no alternative. Silly.
I haven’t used Windows in years and it will be so so bittersweet the day I boot it up on a Dell laptop again.

Do you know when it’s supposed to become default terminal? I thought I heard it was coming eventually.
Disclaimer: Hazy memory about this, take it with a heap of salt.
I think there were being some problems with that. It is planned but still in the future, possibly only with another feature update.
