Ubuntu – Multiple terminal windows in Windows Ubuntu

windows-subsystem-for-linux

I am using Ubuntu downloaded from the Windows Store in Windows 10. It doesn't seem to be possible to use multiple terminal windows. Is the only way then to install a GUI and use this with the X server. I feel like this would defeat the point of using Ubuntu for Windows. I can imagine it working quite slowly. And I have to download 2GB of GUI.

  1. Windows Terminal Way:

    Windows Terminal is a terminal emulator for Windows 10 written by Microsoft.

  2. CMD Way:

    This could be achieved. You need to open multiple windows of command prompt and type ubuntu or ubuntu1604 or ubuntu1804 depending on the version you've downloaded on all the prompts. You'll get multiple terminals.

    In this screenshot I have opened one "Terminal" in app and four in cmd
