tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum are the utils I use to persist sessions across reboots. They have keybinds and options to make it either automatic or manual, but they save EVERYTHING down to the Neovim session (if you use those) for the session's working directory

Perfect ALARM Mk 2: Installation Part 5 (Powerline and Zsh stuff here!)
tmux-plugins/tmux-yank - A plugin that lets you copy to the system clipboard in tmux. You will need to install xsel or xclip if you are using X11 Window Manager (i.e. i3) or wl-clipboard if you are using Wayland Window Manager (i.e. sway). If you have tmux 1.5 or newer and are using xterm, you can use the y command in copy mode and mouse selection without tmux-yank. See the tmux(1) man page entry for the set-clipboard option.
