Unfortunately all it does is complain about not having any session types configured, offering precisely no guidance as to what to do about this. The documentation doesn't mention it at all either.
I purchased a Windows laptop a couple of years ago as an additional machine (my main platform is Linux), and honestly it’s using Windows which feels masochistic: ads, system prompts which pop up beneath windows[0], ads, the login screen swallowing my first few characters, ads, massive over-use of the trackpad (but this could be my fault, ads, very poor update experience (compared to Debian), ads, sluggishness, IE, Edge, ads, lack of free software and — oh yes, lest I forget — ads. Did I mention that an OS I paid for shows me ads all the time? ’Cause it does.
By comparison, my Debian machines are a joy to use. Every time I have to use my Windows laptop I physically deflate; every time I return to one of my GNU/Linux machines I sit up straight & smile.
0: When I'm using a site which requires a smart card login, Windows pops the smart card certificate & PIN prompt up beneath the current browser window — so it appears that nothing is happening, unless I move the mouse down to the taskbar & hover, revealing the waiting prompt. This is … odd … behaviour.
Just run Ubuntu, like I do. Almost as easy to maintain as Windows.
Anyway, with Emacs as your OS, whether Linux or Windows is your bootloader is of secondary concern ;).
Doesn't actually solve any of the problems I have with Linux as a Desktop. And if I listed those problems someone would just tell me to use a different distribution, which is itself a problem. Or alternatively try to convince me they aren't actually problems "for most people" as though I should give a damn what is and isn't a problem for someone else.
I feel that people who criticize the platform have yet to try it...
Though to be fair, if your are running Photoshop or final cut Linux is not a great use case
So clearly no one else has issues, right? None of the people complaining about poor power management, insane application deployment model, poor support for high-end GPUs, general fragmentation, poor backwards and forwards compatibility, or any of the other innumerable problems have ever tried a Linux desktop.
This attitude of "it works for me, therefore it is good enough for everybody" is one of the biggest problems I have with Linux. It isn't so much that there are flaws, it's that the community refuses to recognize that there are flaws.
For Windows users though, the shell integration stuff is only going to work with WSL and cygwin because anything Windows console based doesn't use or pass VT style escape codes, thus I can't extend the protocol there. This may change in the future as the MS console team is working to add more support for VT and unix style terminals. Making Extraterm into an SSH client itself is also an option for Windows but I've having trouble gauging how important a feature that is and whether it should get some prio.
The bizarre twist to this story is that it is going to be easier to add shell integration features to PowerShell Core running on every platform which ISN'T Windows.
