wsltty VS Chocolatey

- WSLtty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty)

Better than the Windows Terminal for WSL. You can work in tmux without getting strange visual artifacts, and allows you to view sixel graphics in console! Fair warning though, I only installed it about two weeks ago, so I can't claim I've battle-tested it though.

Another big downside is the lack of a good terminal on Windows. After many attempts I landed on wsltty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty), which is the closest thing to Linux terminal emulators I could find. The new Windows terminal doesn't live up to the hype at all, I found it slow and quite buggy.

Terminal and WSLtty

I still want to open files with umlaut from explorer through WSL vim. I had an error with wslbridge2.exe that could be fixed here: https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/issues/273

Well i use self patched JetBrains Mono with Mintty from wsltty as for Windows 10 Tahoma is font of choice with ClearCrap disabled.

Chocolatey Windows software management solution, we use this for installing Python and Deno

Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

On a Windows machine, you can use Chocolatey by running the command.

I've used WSL2 and GHC/Nix--worked without any issues. However, there is Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.

Type the following commands on the Windows terminal to install helm. You can use either Scoop a command-line installer for Windows or Chocolatey which is a Package Manager for Windows to install helm.

While you can install it in many ways, the easiest is using a package manager like Homebrew for macOS or chocolatey for Windows.
