You can get tmux session persistence and multiplexing in Windows Terminal by running tmux inside WSL and setting the default shell to PowerShell. New panes and windows will then start pwsh.exe instead of a Linux shell. Here’s a minimal setup using small wrappers and the tmux -C attach trick to configure new sessions.
Following example moves the Ubuntu distribution to disk D:\WSL\Ubuntu.
I prefer using a dedicated WSL instance to run containers. So I’ll install a minimal distribution, Alpine, to run podman. Install the tool LxRunOffline first via scoop scoop bucket add extras scoop install lxrunoffline Download Alpine root package from https://lxrunoffline.apphb.com/download/Alpine. See more distributions in LxRunOffline Wiki.
