Setup Windows Terminal and Debian via WinGet on Windows 10

Install winget from the .appxbundle at https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases

From PowerShell:

winget install "Windows Terminal"
winget install --force debian
debian.exe                  # one-time setup for your username/password

Now you have Windows Terminal and Debian as an option. I set the Linux tab to my default. I also install the new Cascadia typeface.

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y cowsay hollywood 
cowsay "Hello World"
