Putty maintainer on his attitude towards security and open source

The new windows terminal allows you to change how copy and paste work.

I recently switched from about 20 years of Putty use (some years more than others, I ran Linux on the desktop for a long time) to Windows Terminal and the windows included openssh. There are pros and cons. The new windows terminal is very nice but there's still a few annoyances. Having an actual ssh config and almost all the capabilities (no ControlMaster/ControlPath because no files as sockets) is very nice.

I probably would have been fine staying with Putty though if pageant hadn't started having reliable (but weird) problems when handling more than a few auths from remote in a short period, making Ansible unusable when running from my work VM with agent forwarding.

You can also save ssh connections as profiles in the new terminal, to easily open a new tab with a SSH connection to some computer. I use it to quickly access my home server.

But does windos terminal provide a phone line to scream in?
