lets cut to the chase, does tmux work on wsl?

  Probably, I mean I can run xfce on it, so I'd assume it's capable enough (not at my my work computer which has wsl (or GNU/kWindows) right now.)

  Yep, works perfectly. Some terminal emulators on Windows suck up some command key combinations which might impede use of tmux or others that need those key combos, but that's usually configurable.

    This is not a unique problem to Windows, btw. I use tmux with alt + tilde (`) as my modifier key, and most terminal emulators need config changes to allow this.

  I didn't try tmux, but termionator works fine (with an X server running on windows side).

  tmux Works quite well. WSL is still not the highest quality right now, but they explicitly say that it will be still a beta in Win10 RS1, and it's impressive the progress they managed to do during the few months of the Insider period it has been published. To be clear, it's already largely usable for its advertised purpose (dev) and maybe even more, if you feel adventurous. I guess in RS2 it will be quite solid.
