Description
When right clicking containers in the extension and selecting the option to attach shell, I observe the following error.
I have docker installed in the remote Linux SSH session, containers are running there, and the extension is installed there. However it seems to be attempting to use the default local terminal settings on my Windows machine instead of a linux shell, or that is what i'm interpreting.

Research direction
Reproduce the attach-shell action by right-clicking a container in the VS Code extension during a remote Linux SSH session from Windows, then inspect the error shown in the issue. Done means the command opens a shell in the remote container using the remote Linux environment rather than the local Windows terminal settings.
