Any Windows SSH manager that comes with a hipster terminal?


Been using MacBooks for the last 7 or so years for both work/home, but just started a new job that is a totally Windows shop as far as workstations/laptops.

I’m not sure yet what I can/can’t install, so I may be relegated to SecureCRT or the like. However, if I’m lucky enough to install things, anyone know of an SSH manager that incorporates a good looking terminal? I just want fast and halfway decent looking. New-fangled Windows 10 hipster stuff is totally fine. I’m down. Just haven’t kept up with the Windows 10 terminal scene since about 2-3 years...

Thanks!

https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ - whenever I'm in Windows, this is my terminal (and file transfer client, and the kitchen sink) of choice. Not sure if that's "hipster", but it's an indispensable powertool, IMNSHO.

Microsoft actually make one: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-windo...

The other option would be to enable WSL, and just run a Linux distro and use the terminal on that.
