I really like Windows Terminal too. The one issue I have is that I have Ubuntu as the default session and when I open the terminal from the start menu (i.e., hit command key, type "terminal", and hit enter), it opens but loses focus. The only way to remedy it is to disable WSLg (GUI support). It's a long standing bug and a weird one at that.

Yeah, that and sometimes the WSL session takes forever to boot up (a good 10+ seconds for the first time, for me).

Once it's working it's fantastic. I don't know what it is with MacOS, unless they're subtly animating keypresses or something. Linux is as responsive as Windows is too. It's a wired keyboard so nothing to do with bluetooth.

I think that's the initial boot of the VM. I'v noticed it too.

Correct. If you run `wsl --shutdown` as an admin then start up Windows Terminal again the delay is back the first run.
