Visual Studio Code：如何强制“终端”实际显示远程终端本身

Question

I am sure there are a thousand duplicates, but I have not found them as what I have found involve the local terminal, or if about the remote terminal, it is assumed that the live terminal view already exists. In my case the "terminal" aspect of the terminal does not yet exist within the terminal pane.

Setup:
Visual Studio Code installed on Win 10 doing remote development on a Linux based system.

Issue:
When I start Visual Studio Code, it automatically attaches itself to the remote system, as it should.

However, the terminal pane at the bottom of the editing window does NOT contain a "terminal", ( ie with a prompt that I can type commands into). Instead it shows the output of VS Code's efforts to connect with the remote machine as shown below:

Which contains a lot of text:

There is no terminal prompt, nor is there any way to type commands.

(IMHO this should be in the "OUTPUT" window instead of the terminal window.)

If I open a python file and execute it, this window magically changes into a real-live terminal window that I can use.

Just for that reason, I created a tiny Python program just to force the terminal window to be a terminal window:

# Open the terminal window
# A butt-ugly hack to force the VS Code terminal to be a terminal

print("Yippee! a terminal window!")

After I run it, my terminal window is a real terminal window. This is an UGLY hack that I am sure there's a way around.

My question:
How do I make my terminal into a real, live, honest-to-Linux terminal without having to run something?

Thanks!

If you click Terminal then New Terminal , you should get a fresh terminal inside remote environment.
