Can you post your computer specs?

Because it's impossible for me to see any difference between the WSL terminal and Notepad. I can see a tiny difference compared with Electron apps, but I really need to concentrate to see it.

My computer is no rocket, is a higher-end desktop from 6 years ago.

Mine is a ~6 year old i5 quad core desktop. A complete list of hardware can be found here: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/the-tools-i-use#computer-desk...

If you can't notice it much, perhaps your monitor has really bad input lag and it's overtaking any difference between terminals. My monitor has very low input lag (about 13ms) but most monitors have 50-60ms or worse.

There's another comment in this thread where I go into more details about that and how it plays a big difference in being able to perceive input latency when typing.

Your post How to Pick a Good Monitor for Software Development was really helpful when I was upgrading my home office this fall. Thank you, and anyone else who hasn't specced out a monitor in a while might find it helpful as well:

Try changing the theme to basic. In Windows 10, using the default theme added about 50ms in latency.
