Oh lol TIL. I just read "PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for the Windows platform" on putty.org.

I wonder how many of the people I work with have used it before. Maybe I'm an outlier for never encountering it.

I've never used Linux in an Enterprise environment so I don't know if there's an easier way to store servers/switches as objects and access them via the standard terminal than MTPuTTY, but yeah I'm not surprised it was originally created for windows and then ported at some later time.
