WSL

ezTerm can open WSL distros as terminal tabs — same UI as SSH sessions, but the backend is wsl.exe -d <distro> under a ConPTY on Windows.

Create a WSL session

1. New session → WSL.
2. Pick the distro from the dropdown (ezTerm enumerates installed distros via wsl.exe -l -v).
3. (Optional) set the user.
4. Save and connect.

Interop

Because the tab runs wsl.exe, all WSL ↔ Windows interop works:

• code . opens VS Code on the Windows host with the current WSL folder mounted.
• explorer.exe . opens Windows Explorer at the current path.
• Windows commands run via <command>.exe.

Limitations

• Only one distro per session — switch by opening a new tab.
• WSL1 is supported but slower; WSL2 is preferred.
