Make Tmux the Operating System

Original: Make Tmux the OS

Developer Mat Duggan has published an essay arguing that a terminal multiplexer like tmux should form the core of an operating system's user interface. He outlines his ideal OS UI, one built around keyboard-driven window management, persistent sessions and text-based workflows rather than conventional desktop environments. The piece has sparked debate among Hacker News readers about the merits of terminal-centric computing.

Why now: Debates over minimal, keyboard-driven computing environments resonate with developers frustrated by heavyweight desktop OSes.
