For all Linux users that use a Terminal Multiplexer:

Which do you use? Tmux? Byobu? Screen...?

📌 quite interested too

Tmux

Tmux I adopt wen I watch a hardcore python expert conference. +Vim

I use screen to connect with serial port to CISCO, RPI, etc

.

tmux

Tmux

I used screen in the early 2000s to use bitchx and later irssi/centericq, but now I use tmux heavily.

Tmux as the many above has said. Combined with vim and weechat it really is a nice setup

Tmux.
But, whenever I need to show off some hacky terminal to my friends or cousins for fun, I will use `byobu hollywood`

My use case might be different but I tend to not use multiplexers and instead use emacs for development work.

@bahua omg bitchx!
That brings back sweet memories

@rjedlin that's my case also.

tmux

I usually just use the tabs inside the urxvt terminal, because I don't really need splitscreen and don't use ssh all that much.

i3 and tmux

Byobu runs on top of tmux

I use tmux when not using i3. I really prefer to create splits with i3 since I can open a terminal or pretty much any other program in that space.
Also, although it has improved a lot in recent versions, copying and pasting sucks in tmux. Even with plugins it always feels overly complicated.

So I use i3 whenever I can, and tmux in places where I'm forced to use other DEs (i.e. at work)

Thank you for all your answers, seems like tmux is the only option :D

byobu, so basically tmux with a preconf that I find more useful

Screen

I honestly have no idea what a multiplexer is 😅

@linuxxx think of it as a tiling window manager in your terminal ;-)

@linuxxx Whaaaaaaat? How do you not know this?

@linuxxx fancy word for muxing

@n0ah @Ashkin @bioDan So something like terminator or?

@linuxxx more like describing the process of streaming all input and output data through a single stream (like a terminal)

Terminator qualifies i thunk.. But i dont really know much about terminator, is it a complete shell like cshell, or bash? If it is then i guess that it does qualify.

@linuxxx Yes exactly like terminator, but as a separate application, so that you can use what ever terminal emulator you like

@n0ah😮

@linuxxx I personaly use Alacritty as terminal emu, whitch currently does not support tabs, so I need another way to have muliple terminal apps running without having a separate window for each of them :-)

It seams like tmux does the job for me :D

Tmux

You have reminded me that I never actually gave tmux a try and it was really fun to play with, but I personally don't really see any use in that, so I use screen but really just for the detaching.

Also just discovered through some other ranter; "hyper terminal", which supports all this tmux "tiling" natively

tmux, always. I have it integrated with iTerm, so I can open new sessions as native tabs or windows, plus I get sessions and persistence and all that.
