- anonu 7y agoTotally agree. Also, screen is usually default installed on fresh distros. You have to go out of your way to install tmux
- H1Supreme 7y ago> You have to go out of your way to install tmux You have to type: apt install tmux. Or, whatever your distro of choice's package manager install line is. I'd hardly call that going out of one's way.
- petee 7y agoMeaning what? It's different?
- sam_lowry_ 7y agoI feel like tmux is styled more towards Mac users, with rich UI and verbose options. screen is more akin to a unix program that borrows the styling of options from getopts.
- ephaeton 7y agoThere is also the difference in licenses, and as in users voting with their feet, I chose the BSD licensed alternative to terminal muxing.
