Microsoft is announcing a new application named the Windows Terminal. It will include multiple tabs along with themes and other customization features. The Windows Terminal uses GPU-based text rendering and even supports emoji. It includes tabs so you can open Cmd, PowerShell, and WSL consoles in a single window.
This application won’t immediately replace the classic Windows Console environment. The source code is already available on GitHub.
Beyond the visual changes, Microsoft also announced “Windows Subsystem for Linux 2.” It will reportedly offer up to twice the performance of the current version of WSL for filesystem-heavy operations. Windows 10 will include a Linux kernel to make this possible.
