Need windows version. Windows Terminal is the worst thing in the world.

Not the same thing though. Windows Terminal is a terminal emulator. Rsh is a shell. Assuming rsh runs fine on windows, one could make another profile in Windows Terminal that starts in rsh.

Once it's on Windows you can add it as a shell in Windows Terminal.

You might be mixing up cmd with windows terminal though. Cmd is truly crap which is why it was replaced with powershell 20 years ago.

WSL and you just can completely avoid Windows Terminal if you work on Windows but not with Windows. I.e I do devops, linux development in my Windows Box running an openSUSE box in WSL. It integrates pretty well with visual code for instance.

Not great naming imho, this has been around for 40 years.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Shell

Could have named it rbsh. Though the pronunciation could be controversial.

CMD wasn’t replaced. PowerShell exists alongside it.

Sadly, to use WSL effectively, you need to configure high enough Disk and Memory, the issue is WSL doesn't know how to clean up deleted volume.
