I tend to not use tmux unless I know I'm going to need multiple shells out of the gate. If I get more than 4 terminal tabs then I'll switch over to tmux. But to each their own.

Being able to ssh back in and do "tmux at" and resume where you left off, I'm not sure there's a better tool out there than tmux.
- hawski 5y agoAbduco or dtach are probably easier for beginners. I, for one, am not that bothered by the drops, because if the connection is really choppy I tend to just use mosh. Also I have a few connections made via ZeroTier and I found that the connection is remarkably stable. That's all with a huge asterisk, that I am not enough bothered to improve my setup.
