The article discusses the benefits of tiling terminal sessions directly in the console, highlighting tools like GNU Screen and Tmux. GNU Screen, although a complex tool from the 1980s, allows users to manage remote connections and sessions effectively, even as it can be hard to use. Tmux presents a more modern option, featuring capabilities for handling multiple local and remote sessions, but it also brings increased complexity. Both tools exemplify the versatility of console-based workflows in comparison to graphical user interfaces, appealing to elite console users.
GNU Screen, the granddaddy of terminal multiplexers, is hard to learn but powerful, ideal for connecting to distant servers and managing sessions seamlessly.
Tmux is a modern alternative to GNU Screen, handling multiple local and remote terminal sessions with added complexity, yet offers advanced management through external tools.
