What’s a good terminal emulator for windows to connect to ssh and WSL? (lemmy.world)

I am looking some recommendations for a terminal emulator from windows to login to Linux via ssh+tmux and also connect to WSL.

It needs to have support for multiple tabs, would be nice if it also had split window support. And mostly should feel like a Linux terminal emulator.

I am mostly used to konsole, so something like that would be preferable. I have been using alacritty, but no tabs makes me feel weird.

Also it has smart suggestions system which I really like. Initially it was on by default iirc, but nowadays I think you have to turn it on yourself. What it does is basically after you did any command like "ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx", it will remember that and next time you start typing "ssh" it will automatically provide full command as autocompletion suggestion. It's purely textual so it works with anything.

Are Windows users just now getting this feature? I've had autosuggestions in my oh-my-zsh config for years.

I've never seen it on Windows before Windows Terminal, but the latter has been around for a few years at least. I wouldn't doubt we can have this and much more with Linux shells.
