tmux is great but it's way too powerful for the 90% use case of screen - which is "let this process continue to run even if I disconnect or logout".

I've had some luck with mosh, but that also seems kind of moribund.

For my use case it's fine.

I guess, but does it really get in the way?

I use tmux only for scrollback and having multiple "tabs" and sessions, and not much else. But the more advanced stuff like splits and whatnot never really get in my way.


If that is literally the only thing that you need, dtach is the ticket.

Along the lines of Mosh, I've migrated from it to Eternal Terminal (ET): https://eternalterminal.dev
