Make Tmux the Operating System
Original: Make Tmux the OS
Mat Duggan has published an essay arguing that a terminal multiplexer like Tmux could serve as the core interface of a dream operating system, replacing conventional desktop UI. The piece describes how keyboard-driven, pane-based workflows could handle window management and tasks without a graphical environment. Readers are debating the practicality of terminal-first computing, with some embracing the minimalism and others questioning everyday usability.
Why now: The provocative idea of a terminal multiplexer replacing a desktop UI is sparking debate among developers about minimal computing environments.
