Does using a tiling window manager make a terminal multiplexer obsolete?
- by Jan Westerdiep
Since about half a year I have been enjoying a terminal multiplexer (tmux, to whomever it may concern), and have grown to like it. I would like to try a tiling WM as opposed to a stacked one some time in the future but cannot wrap my head around this simple question:
Why would one use the splits in a multiplexer within a tiling WM? Is there an upside, besides of course the single instance you'd be running?
