I agree with Manuel and will also throw in that the new Windows Terminal may give you more of what you may be used to with Linux. Scott Hanselman has some good stuff on Windows Terminal and on using WSL. Start with hanselman.com/blog/ItsTimeForYouTo....
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Windows terminal is ridiculously slow and buggy still. I mean it's orders of magnitude slower than a decent terminal from 15 years ago - a simple cat of a file that scrolls for 100 screen heights will take a fraction of a second on a conventional terminal and 30 seconds or more on Windows Terminal. That kind of update rate makes everything laggy and annoying.
Also... also it crashes a lot and has a lot of half-written features.
I know it's "alpha", but kids make terminals for a laugh in a weekend that are better than WSL's.
