I would know this as tmux, is there a difference?

[โ€“] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no, tmux is a newer screen. some of us havent switched cos we're too lazy i guess? i think the common wisdom is that it's better. i havent tried cos i already know enough of screen and it's fine for me

Or you can learn both and spend the rest of your life trying screen commands in tmux and vice versa.

gnu screen is just a different program than tmux. they do the same thing though
