Why the alacritty doesn't need wslbridge? How does it work with WSL? #339

Closed netjune closed 1 year ago

netjune commented 1 year ago

I tried to start WSL with alacritty. It works well. It doesn't need wslbridge or else. How does it work?

The same works with mintty. Just the wsl.exe gateway imposes a bunch of restrictions and witty assumptions on terminal operation. You won't be able to use extended attributes (like curly underlined) for instance, or dynamic colour configuration etc.

OK. Thanks for your explaination.

See also mintty/mintty#1235 for an example how plain wsl does not work properly.
