The terminal should recall the last commands, mkdir test, winget install curl and dir .... however just nothing happens when I hit arrow up. On linux this works great

This is a feature of the shell (cmd.exe), not the terminal (Windows Terminal). For example, PowerShell (powershell.exe, pwsh.exe) does support cross-session history. Most modern shells do, but alas, CMD does not. As much as I'd love that, we won't be updating cmd.exe anytime soon. If you want a modern, updated shell on Windows, you should try out PowerShell 7.

Thanks for the explanation, this is really sad. I'd love to use powershell however cmd seems way more similar to linux terminal where powershell is more like a different thing, or can powershell be used with all the same functions including running batch instead of cmd?

I definitely feel you - I'm a cmd user myself. Though I've been learning a bit more pwsh over the years, and lemme tell ya, when you start getting into more complicated scripts, I've definitely come to prefer powershell. Plumbing objects around takes a little getting used to, but it's way nicer than trying to do anything complicated in batch scripts.

Thanks for your understanding, this recent microsoft goes linux and microsoft goes open-source heavily changed my image of this company in a good way.

Back to cmd, yeah I always used it and as I love linux cmd is just way more convenient to use than powershell, the syntax is just a bit different between linux and cmd where powershell is like a new level which I don't really like.

However in complex scripts I see powershell interest becoming bigger.

I've also noticed a lot of cmd problems including ANSI characters and color support....

Maybe I really have to think about switching, however I think for this step powershell would have to be made more compatibel with cmd for example allowing batch file and supporting all of cmd syntax

imo, powershell's aliases make it able to use bash cmds directly and hence makes me feel pwsh is closer to bash than cmd

The only place i feel it lacking is in the autocomplete system that I got soooo used to in zsh.. ψ(._. )>

I found clink which solves all my problems and with doskey command and auto inject command on startup from clink i have everything, a better visual cmd, auto complete, working history and so, have s look at it! It has soo many features!

Yes I came across clink, when setting up starship prompt for zsh and pwsh..
Have you tried it?
starship.rs

Starship and pwsh look also very definitely have to look a them.
