If you switch between doing it locally and accessing your machine remotely it makes sense. But if you stay entirely locally then your DE or compositor is probably way more powerful and easier to use than a multiplexer. Unless you stay entirely in text mode and don’t even have a GUI, then it starts to make sense again I guess.

Nah, my desktop is for gaming 😄 Also I do most of my coding on a server I ssh to anyway.

You realize that the plane pictured, an SR-71, possibly the coolest plane ever made, has been phased out many years ago? Another sign the USA isn’t what it used to be! /s

Pretty much agree with most of his post. Terminal multiplexers are useless on your desktop, but great on servers you ssh to.

Wild ideas aside, zellij is really nice as just a terminal multiplexer though 😅

That’s a really weird and dishonest take. If a compositor wants to implement that feature it absolutely can, Wayland or not has nothing to do with it. I’m just saying it isn’t implemented the way you want in the compositors I know of. Seems like all it needs is compositor developers who want what you want.

You can configure this with window rules and autostart apps when Hyprland starts. That’s not remembering what you had open the last time, but it will probably give you the experience you’re looking for.

While I agree that listing those separately is a bit odd, none of the Ubuntu releases you name are rolling releases. Debian testing is a very different experience.
