Make your servers feel like a desktop with SCREEN

[@mihaipauldtru]

Screen is downright primitive compared to tmux, and both are stone age tools next to Zellij. But sure, anything is better than nothing and this video serves as a good introduction to working on a remote server. Snarkiness aside, good work and looking forward to more videos about CLI and TUI tools!

date tmux, marry screen, have affair with zellij

brilliant screen demo 🙂 quick question - what are you using to display your key strokes on screen as you type? some kind of OBS plugin?

[@MarkMcNallyJE]

Thanks :) It's called screenkey - it's just a command line program :)

Tmux was created as a less bloated alternative to screen. Usually, everything GNU does is bloated. And Zelij is terrible, so many panes and shit.

A tad bit late but who cares If you had read the docs you might have been happy to learn that it takes around 3 changes in a config file to make it a tad less "terrible" Zellij is amazing, just looks like its made for 9 year olds out of the box.

@@Shywizz Then what makes Zellij better than tmux?
