- revscat 13y agoNo. It is very difficult to get tmux running on Windows. Not impossible, mind, but not as simple as e.g. 'brew install tmux'.
- AjithAntony 13y agorecent post on using tmux on cygwin inside a mintty https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6737795 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6737795
- IanCal 13y agoI use a mac, and tmux essentially gives me a tiling window manager for most of my dev tasks (vim + terminals).
- jaredmcateer 13y agoNope I use it almost exclusively in Linux.
- jlgreco 13y agoAt work I use Windows->Putty->Linux->tmux, at home I use Linux->urxvt->ssh->Linux->tmux and Linux->uxrvt->tmux. When working on a Linux machine directly, I also use a tiling window manager.
- teh_klev 13y agoFor me yes, Win7 + MobaXterm which totally rocks, so much so I paid for it. Worth the punt just for the X support i.e. PyCharm running on remote server with UI on my Win7 desktop.
- tokenrove 13y agoDo you mean as opposed to people who use screen, or as opposed to people who somehow do without either? Since tmux was invented in the OpenBSD world, I expect it's still mostly Unix users.
- laumars 13y agoNope. Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. But mainly Linux
