windows-terminal-quake VS winget-cli

I use the third-party https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake (from before an official quake mode was added to Windows Terminal, and this one works better anyway) and it opens a window for an instant on startup before minimizing to the system tray.

Im also a big fan of Quake-style console (using ddterm on Linux) and I am happy to tell you that Windows Terminal has a Quake companion app that is worth a try :)

I know it's not ideal because separate binary and all but https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake has been good to me :)

I've been using https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake for a while now. If its implemented anywhere near it, please be aware of z-index issues especially if i've got "always on top" apps.

It seems nice but using WSL(2) Windows Terminal is noticeably faster for me, same compared to most other alternatives including Cmder/ConEmu.

While Windows Terminal doesn't have a settings UI (yet[0]) it does allow for theming, this page[1] features a range of color schemes that you can define and set in your settings.json.

There's also a wrapper that allows for quake style drop down [2] until it's implemented by Windows Terminal itself[0].

You're correct here, and that's exactly the reason Winget is a package manager, as dependency management is part of teh stable release since version 1.6.3133:

Currently, I'm troubleshooting an annoying issue on my shared devices that it's a hell to delete. See this ticket: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3365

It's also on the official microsoft package manager (winget).
