The new Windows Terminal is looking very nice so far:

You still have to build it from source in VS 2017 or 2019, and there are a few rough edges (currently only middle click for copy/paste), but it's a great start. They should have some official binaries up pretty soon.

You can grab build artifacts from builds of the master branch off their CI. You need to enable developer mode to allow the loading of an unsigned binary.

As far as I know, it's not possible to install these binary artifacts as of now, as they don't have any certificates with the msix package. You'd just get an error `error 0x800B0100: The app package must be digitally signed for signature validation.`

It's easy. unzip the appx, and run Add-AppxPackage -Register AppxManifest.xml.

This way you are registering the app directly instead of installing the appx.

They just released an early preview build in the Windows Store:
