- 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.

ETA: The one thing it doesn't allow me to do is change font programmatically, which would allow me to switch fonts to render non-english characters. I'm very much a beginner in terminals, so if anyone has a solution to this, I would love to hear it.



Used WSLTTY ~ 3 years, switched to Windows Terminal for 1.5 years or may be even 2. Tried Alacritty/WezTerm in between.

Not missing anything from WSLTTY, don't have artifcats in Tmux (my daily driver just in case).

Looking on WezTerm once it will be more stable/focused on WSL/Windows
