Windows Terminal and WSL 2 Tips

The Microsoft Windows Terminal is here! Fantastic development. In this video I show you WSL 2 tips and tricks and show you how to use Microsoft Windows Terminal to interact with WSL 2 (Ubuntu 20.04) virtual machines and others. Now it's so easy to have a tabbed application that supports Powershell, Command Prompt, Azure, WSL 2, SSH, Telnet and other applications.

Windows Terminal supports a lot of customizations: you can change fonts, colors, background images, and a whole bunch of other options.

wsl2 is a fantastic development of Microsoft Windows 10: you can run Linux directly on Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux. In this video I demonstrate Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 using wsl2.
