But I never did much development on Windows until a particular job I had about a year ago. It was a Windows shop and we did everything between WSL2, VSCode, and Windows Terminal. It was actually... a really nice developer experience. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well things worked. WSL2 isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but the newer WSLg on Windows 11 solves some of those problems.
If I could have the Windows Terminal in a Linux desktop distro, I would take it in a heartbeat. I think you're in for a treat if you give it a try!
From a slightly broader view, Windows + WSL2/WSLg + Windows Terminal is a pretty great experience that manages to combine a lot of the best of both Windows and Linux worlds, IMHO.
KDE connect is also very cool, if you give it a shot definitely check it out. I really enjoy the customization plasmashell offers, and it's all integrated very well. You can also set window behaviors to keep on top and remember scale / position, which i use when debugging GUI applications so I can click around my IDE without having to shuffle windows. There's just a ton of great functionality to explore.
Very disappointing news.
Ive been using tmux with these two for years. It's everything I need and more. Ive never tried windows terminal, i usually only boot up the windows PC for gaming, and honestly once EAC and Proton work together I won't even need to do that anymore. I'll have to check out windows terminal next time im on that PC though, thanks for sharing. Always curious to hear what others are using.
