Why use tmux?? Anonymous 11/09/2024 (Sat) 16:14:12 No. 914
Why should I use tmux over the tiling and tabbing features of my window manager or those already built into many terminals?

>>914 You probably won't need it unless all of your graphical programs go missing and you need to use TTY. I use tmux because I don't have the any of the things you talked about

>>914 Simple: you want to have a service running in the background that's not a daemon For example, transcoding video with ffmpeg might take a very long time. If you end up closing your terminal for whatever reason during that and your session isn't in screen or tmux, it's gone and you have to start from scratch

>>915 Im not sure what you mean even if you don’t use a window manager most default terminals support this kind of features even on gnome and you aren’t using a minimal terminal unless it’s used with a minimal tiling window manager >>921 Im pretty sure the nohup and disown command can do that without a terminal multiplexer

>>921 nohup cmd & or cmd & disown (but disown does not redirect the command output by itself)

>>914 My terminal doesn't support multiplexing so I end up using tmux as a workaround. It also allows me to keep my sessions alive and accessible from elsewhere with ssh.
