You'll often hear "dumb terminal" when referring to a text-based environment where the computer you are sitting next to is just taking input and showing text while the real work happens at the other end in a mainframe or large computer. The word Terminal comes from terminate, indicating that it's the terminating end or "terminal" end of a communications process.
Let's start with a glossary and clarify some words first. Can I use conemu with PowerShell Core or do I need to use Windows Terminal?.I don't need WSL for bash, I use Cygwin.Why would I use Windows Terminal over PowerShell?.This weblog contains public wisdom of our company Softwareschneiderei GmbH in Karlsruhe, Germany.I see a lot of questions that are close but the questions themselves show an underlying misunderstanding of some important terms. If that is still not enough for you there are a prompt theme engine like oh-my-posh using a command like You will have to fix some paths and provide icons yourself.

Finally we get a well performing and capable terminal program that not only supports our beloved tabs and Unicode/UTF-8 but also a whole bunch of shells: CMD, PowerShell, WSL and even Git Bash. As mentioned in my earlier post about hidden gems in the Windows 10 eco system a very welcomed addition is Windows Terminal.
