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.

Tiling at the window level makes much more sense and is technologically more sound than pushing windowing into the terminal output. Also see this comment by the creator of the kitty terminal emulator.
Quite the interesting read, thanks for sharing!
Is there any good alternative to tmux's ability to create sessions and attach/detach from them? It gets installed on all my servers strictly for this ability.
