No experience with Conemu and WSL, but Windows Terminal [1] provides smooth experience.

WSL2 has a completely new approach than WSL1, so compatibility is better.

Even after reading a gazillion posts about setting up and using WSL/WSL2 I had no idea something like Windows Terminal existed!

Someone seems to have made a Quake style dropdown too for it: https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake which I absolutely need

Probably wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to get ConEmu/Cmder to work with WSL if I had known.

windows terminal is good for opening powershell and wsl2 linux shell together. cmd as well. it's handy sometimes but i still find myself using powershell and cmd more than linux though.
