How I wish that I could use the new terminal app on the windows 10 build that is installed on my work Laptop.
EDIT: you can download built packages from the Releases tab https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases

what is good about this app?
they're also planning to overhaul it with more modern features judging from its trailer[0] (yes, this terminal has a fancy 3D trailer)
It is a testament just how much behind times MS was up until recently.
The surprising thing here is that this is the Ubuntu terminal. Indeed, each keystroke goes through the input driver, to USER32, through the console code, to the terminal process in question. But then it goes through a virtual input device, across the VM boundary (which, on Windows is a VM exit plus an entry), through the Linux input driver, into dash (or whatever Ubuntu uses these days), and then all the way back out…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
