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.

Alacritty, launching tmux with fish shell. The latter shell could easily have been zsh. But a good and fast terminal w/tmux is such a nice thing to have.
Any time to wish you had bothered with tmux, is when it's already too late. If you go for this, you'll never look back.
How auto tmux?
Don't know why you were downvoted. In any case, all terminals can be configured to start with a specific command and arguments. So, depending on your terminal, you might need to read the documentation, and/or search the web.
In alacritty config, this is:
Then one of these:
<CMD>
is the path totmux
, and you have configuredtmux
to run the shell of your choice. Search the web for how.<CMD>
is the path to your shell, and it supports launching intmux
. Search the web for how.For me, it's the second one. I use
fish
, and I launch it withfish --command=tmux
. So the above config looks like this:Awesome. Thanks. I'll set that up later.
