Best terminal emulator with good-enough compatibility to run `emacs -nw` adequately

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/bashonubuntuonwindows

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ConEmu

    Customizable Windows terminal with tabs, splits, quake-style, hotkeys and more

  • Yeah that or instead, ConEmu itself I guess. If ConEmu won't do it then it probably won't work natively on Windows to begin with so I'm that confident about it (plus it's very customizable) :D

  • extraterm

    The swiss army chainsaw of terminal emulators

  • You can try Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/). It supports WSL specifically by side-stepping most of the windows console system and talks quite directly from the terminal to the Linux side. The experience should then be just as fast as compatible as though you were running emacs on a Linux system/terminal.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
