Is Terminal even a Windows app or alias for cmd.exe/PowerShell? I know the joke is how bad the start “menu” is, but maybe they could’ve searched for a real app?
Windows Terminal is the terminal emulator that hosts the shell (cmd or PowerShell, or anything else really). It’s the modern replacement for “conhost”.
It’s also a fantastic app, some of the devs are on Mastodon too.
My only gripe with it is that it’s a store app, meaning the path to the executable is very convoluted. So starting it via a powertoys shortcut is a hassle and I think only works for one specific version until the path changes
it’s honestly one of the best Terminal Emulators. wish I could get it on Linux in all honesty. I’m sure someone has but I haven’t really looked into it.

Windows Terminal is one of the only good things Microsoft has done in ages.

But ConEmu is still better.
Windows terminal is actually decent
