What’s a good terminal emulator for windows to connect to ssh and WSL? (lemmy.world)

I am looking some recommendations for a terminal emulator from windows to login to Linux via ssh+tmux and also connect to WSL.

It needs to have support for multiple tabs, would be nice if it also had split window support. And mostly should feel like a Linux terminal emulator.

I am mostly used to konsole, so something like that would be preferable. I have been using alacritty, but no tabs makes me feel weird.

Microsoft Terminal supports tabs and custom profiles. It can host Azure CLI, PowerShell, CMD.exe, and Bash.
Windows ships with openssh that is usable in any of the supported cli.

I use it all the time for work to ssh into systems.

I have tried this, but feels clunky to me. And the copy paste behaviour is kind of weird. Similar to cmd.

You can modify that in the configs.

Honestly, after using Windows and Linux side-by-side for 25 years, the new Windows Terminal is the best terminal emulator they ever made.

It also has the best promotional video I've ever seen for a terminal emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE
