Oh man, Windows Terminal is a wonderful thing! I've used Konsole extensively; I've been a filthy dual booter for many years now.

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.
