I didn’t even know it had quake mode or what that was. But if it works, great. Just one more feature to keep folks enjoying it.
For you it’s quake mode, for me it’s context sensitive ctrl+c. Everyone has their thing for their workflows to be optimal for them.
Honestly, I’m not sure I have an answer to that… it doesn’t do anything unique, but it does a lot of things really well.
Config is json driven (UI just updates a json file, so you can do more advanced things in the config that the UI doesn’t allow), it has the ability to have multiple types of tabs, i.e, a powershell tab, git tab, WSL tab, etc. It’s fast and not resource intensive. It’s constantly updated. It’s open source with a clear roadmap. Split panes is handled fairly well.
I personally really enjoy Ctrl+c being context sensitive. If I highlight something it copies, if I hit it at the prompt, it will behave like it does in Linux.
I don’t feel like I can sell anyone on one feature, it’s just stable, updated frequently/has good support, and is a great experience (so don’t complain about it). When I’m using something else, there is always some feature I wish it had that Terminal does have.
I want it for Linux too, but I use Tabby as it is the closest thing I have found to it.
This is solid if you’re somewhat technical. I think it could be simplified with an overview at the beginning.
I feel like the focus jumps around. If they have already made the decision, no reason to list replacement programs.
Honestly, you might get some better results if you dropped it into AI and asked for a summary/less technical versions of what you wrote. Or it could just make you laugh.
Most places I’ve been at have only OS restrictions when the corporate IT doesn’t support it. To be honest, while not perfect, WSL on Windows is great.
Just installed it today. I had been using KDE Neon for the last 6+ months and really enjoyed it, but I had issues I couldn’t google my way out of.
I can’t believe this is still going. I used this back in the day as the superior AIM client. This was truly a blast from the past that I didn’t expect in 2025.
What about the experience is miserable? I’m just curious as I really like it.
Oof. Then that seems more on the ops side of things. Interesting. I can’t wait for them to never share what happened so we can all continue to speculate. 😂
As someone that works in QA, yeah, they needed something to catch this. I saw someone mention somewhere without a source that they missed it as all test machines have their full suite of software installed. In that scenario, the computer wasn’t affected. So for QA it seems their labs might need to be more in tune with the user base.
However, the fact that they are able to push this so quickly worldwide seems like a big process issue. I get 0 day issues and that is how they justify it. But deploy to a small subset of customers before going global seems more reasonable.
Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.
While they are passable, if you have used/setup profiles in Chrome, it’s a far better user experience with more flexibility. Normally, I would go into app grouping in the start menu, but I just realized I am commenting in the Linux community. 😂
I keep waiting for better profile management. Not saying it needs to mirror chrome exactly, but feature wise it falls short (at least how I would like to use it).
I hadn’t given it much thought as so many of the legacy systems I worked with were case sensitive. But I’m with you. Except for passwords.
This happened where I work. An inexperienced team was making changes to a shared code base. They made changes to make usernames case insensitive, without thinking about them ready being case sensitive. So if you logged in with user CAT123, you might get cat123’s info. And then I was left on the team that had to clean up their mess and find and understand the impact.
I usually move the monitors around, the move my mouse to test it, until I avoid that, as perfectly aligning then with different resolutions doesn’t work. But yeah, totally know what you’re saying.
That’s interesting. Windows 11 is the best multi monitor version of windows ever, in my experience. It “remembers” where apps were last used opens them there. While not perfect, I find it great that it handles more than one multiple monitor setup. I have 3 monitors at home and 2 at the office. I just plug in and they are always in the same alignment. Given how bad it was in previous versions, I’m impressed.
We need a monthly AI generated report. Instead of Executice Summary at the top, it gives a Casualties and Surveillance Summary.
