Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

screen is like tmux, right? So you can split your CLI, open a new window/tab to open more Bash/Vim instances?

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

tmux is a modern screen replacement.

Yep! You can have multiple named screens, log them all individually, and they'll keep processes running even if you disconnect. Never used tmux but screen is usually installed on the systems I'm working on.
