Using pterm with WSL
From Flavio's wiki
pterm is a terminal emulator based on PuTTY 's code. It's a nice replacement for the archaic Windows Console.
I'd like to run Windows Subsystem for Linux sessions inside pterm too, but WSL doesn't have an option to configure a which terminal to use, as far as I know.
pterm runs cmd.exe by default, but there's
an undocumented[1] -e option[2]
that allows you to run a different command. So if you want to run WSL inside pterm, use:
pterm -e wsl -d Debian --cd ~
