There were good old days when we used .msi for software distribution.

There are .msix releases on their Github page.

Says Windows cannot open this type of file. What happened to distributing apps with their dependencies?

It's a little ironic, that it is impossible to update Microsoft Terminal from a PowerShell running within it using the Add-AppPackage (or whatever it was called Cmdlet as it can't update opened files.

Besides that, Microsoft Terminal is fantastic and finally makes it bearable to do terminal oriented work on Windows. The performance/latency is just top-notch, it supports most UNIX-ish shell features, it's configurable and doesn't get in one's way.

This should come integrated into Windows ASAP (along with pwsh7)

Still using ConEmu tho.

I've been wondering when Microsoft would actually bother to make a decent terminal emulator. As far as I know, CMD still requires me to edit the registry just to use a truetype font. Better late than never, I suppose.

Does this work in LTSC?

I've been using it and it's a great improvement over the standard Windows console. Will it be included with the OS in the future?

nojito• 6 years ago

Doubtful because coupling it to the OS forces the dev team to support it for a very very long time.

Much easier to support and develop a store app.

It's been a while since I've checked it out--how does it fare compared to, say, MobaXTerm? Are there advantages to using it for WSL work?

infosecdude64• 6 years ago

For all my use cases it has replaced MobaXTerm. I'll fire Moba up once in a while when I need to pop something up in X windows, but that's a rarity.

Between the new terminal and MS Code's ability to edit code remotely my whole tool chain has changed. I turned in my MBP at work for a windows laptop and haven't looked back since.

downerending• 6 years ago

I'm interested in this question as well. MobaXTerm X11 integration seems pretty smooth, and the GUI sftp (?) client is also pretty nice. And I guess the ssh tunnel interface is kind of nice.

What would the best equivalents be under WSL 2?

virusduck2• 6 years ago

X11 is key here. It runs silently without having to be installed or managed separately. Is there any better implementation?

kthartic• 6 years ago

The Windows Terminal, WSL, and VS Code has been a life saver for development on Windows. I've been using it for developing a web app (in Go and TypeScript) and so far the experience has been almost indistinguishable from my macOS environment.
