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.

I use Windows Terminal nowadays. It feels more clunky and slow than say, foot or kitty on Linux, but it's functional.

Before, I used to use PuTTY for ssh sessions, it feels more fluid, but it needs a lot of configuring to get the terminal behavior just right, and the settings UI is really outdated. It also doesn't support WSL (unless you run sshd on WSL and ssh into the system).

Windows Terminal is slower and a bit weird to use

It does work though. Way better than gWSL
