How is Windows Terminal different?
Windows Terminal is a modernized take on a command-line interface, and most of its initial appeal comes from the fact that it's a unified interface. Windows Terminal supports all the command-line tools you need, so you can run Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell in the same app. You can even add things like Linux terminals for distributions you install, or install standalone versions of PowerShell, all of which will be baked into Terminal.

I've been running it on my W10 desktop as the default for the last couple of days, very handy as I can run admin powershell / CMD and WSL2 Ubuntu bash all from the same tabbed terminal.

Related to this - if you like the way Linux updates from the command line then you can do the same for Windows 10/11 from Powershell using Winget, and there's also a GUI app called WingetUI that will give you a bit more granularity via tick box update selection and a choice of packet managers like Scoop/Chocolaty et al.
Helps avoid the fragmentation of Windows Store updates/third party apps etc. all being individual exercises, and puts it under centralised manual control so you don't get swamped by auto updates every time you boot (unless you like that sort of thing... :? ).

Usual DYOR caveats...
