tmux is great but it's way too powerful for the 90% use case of screen - which is "let this process continue to run even if I disconnect or logout".
I've had some luck with mosh, but that also seems kind of moribund.

For my use case it's fine.

- arp242 2y ago> tmux is great but it's way too powerful for the 90% use case of screen - which is "let this process continue to run even if I disconnect or logout". I guess, but does it really get in the way? I use tmux only for scrollback and having multiple "tabs" and sessions, and not much else. But the more advanced stuff like splits and whatnot never really get in my way.
- db48x 2y agoEven screen is too powerful for that use case. Just use nohup or dtach instead.
- lupusreal 2y agoScreen has some obscure functionality that tmux doesn't have. Handling serial port connections, whereas with tmux AFAIK you'd have to use minicom.
