I am stuck to Windows at work, while we SSH into development Linux machines. Windows terminal and WSL keep me from going insane. All I need to do is just F11 the terminal, make it fullscreen and forget ever that I am on Windows.&lt;p&gt;With Mac OS I still like the Mac terminal more than the Windows terminal and just SSH into Linux boxes.&lt;p&gt;Still, for me, nothing beats a Linux desktop with i3wm on it.</text></comment>
