Do you not SSH onto your desktop? I do it all the time. I often want to switch from coding at my desk to coding on a laptop, and tmux + SSH makes that transition completely seamless.
Nah, my desktop is for gaming 😄 Also I do most of my coding on a server I ssh to anyway.
So you admit it's not useless on the desktop of you actually code locally.
If you switch between doing it locally and accessing your machine remotely it makes sense. But if you stay entirely locally then your DE or compositor is probably way more powerful and easier to use than a multiplexer. Unless you stay entirely in text mode and don't even have a GUI, then it starts to make sense again I guess.
Do you use any IDE with that flow?
Basically just tmux + Helix + fish shell.
Yes, vim.
