What would you suggest, or either Windows 10 or Linux, to get the lowest latency in a terminal?

If you want the lowest latency in a terminal, use a vga textmode console with a ps/2 keyboard. That's pretty hard to get on windows 10, so I'd go with Linux.

I agree. Make sure it's not a framebuffer, because it also adds latency.

Unfortunately, if you want a normal sized font, this is not possible with modern "high resolution" displays
