After years on Linux, I just discovered Vim & TMUX. They're fucking amazing.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • dtache

  • GNU Screen, tmux and dtach (with convenient Emacs interface) all serve to limit that problem.

  • alacritty

    An arctic, north-bluish clean and elegant Alacritty color scheme. (by nordtheme)

  • Alacritty Nord.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • vim-tig

    Do a tig in your vim

  • Self plug vim-tig. Haven't updated it in a while but I use it daily. Mapped ctrl+g to open.

  • micro-editor

    A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

  • Micro was honestly the closest terminal text editor that I liked. Everything is accessible via the terminal with keyboard shortcuts, mouse integration is fantastic for a terminal program, it's default settings are sane and most of all: its intuitive.

  • zellij

    A terminal workspace with batteries included

  • u/rattlerake What do you think about zellij? I rarely use terminal multiplexers and never remember shortcuts, but zellij have them on screen. :P

  • GNU Emacs

    Mirror of GNU Emacs

  • For those wondering, the Emacs equivalent would be to use TRAMP and Dtache.

  • vtm

    Text-based desktop environment

  • For absolute revelation, use vtm, a whole Desktop environment for the terminal. In addition to tiling (like tmux) it supports floating window management.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • dtach

    A simple program that emulates the detach feature of screen

  • GNU Screen, tmux and dtach (with convenient Emacs interface) all serve to limit that problem.

  • powerline

    Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome and Qtile.

  • Wait until you discover that you can apply powerline to both of them
