Make Tmux the OS
Summary
The post envisions a tmux-like experience as the OS, exploring how window management, multi-monitor usage, and browser-based workloads could be reimagined as a task-oriented, scrollable desktop. It surveys past attempts (Windows Timeline, Sets, Stage Manager, KDE Activities), identifies core UX challenges (privacy, spatial memory, and user diversity), and sketches a model where tasks drive window organization with a local LLM-assisted overlay. The article is a thought exercise aimed at sparking discussion and prototyping ideas for a more fluid, user-centric desktop experience.
