From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like the question above am I just an old man that's not keeping up with the times or is terminator still a great terminal to use in 2025?

I use foot which is Wayland aware and renders Unicode fonts. Honestly I don't need much from the terminal itself as I'm usually in tmux to deal with all the "tabs" and scrollback.

Yeah. Pretty much all of the above.

I used to rely on Sway for terminal tabs and splits. Only recently did I realize that tmux is the better option, even for local use. Already used tmux for SSH sessions.

Reasoning?

Muscle memory. I already did development on remote machines in nvim.
If I start tmux in the root of a project, then every new pane or window I open automatically starts in that directory. So no need to cd to the root for every new shell session I start.

Interesting, thanks. Had not considered that second point.
