From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Noob-warning ;)

Looks pretty cool. It almost gives a desktop-workspace vibe and seems way smarter than me flipping through my 6-10 session tabs.

Does someone know if Zellij run ontop of bash, fish etc, or is it a shell replacement ? I hopped to Guix and would rather not dive too deep atmo with changing shells and so on. Also, is it possible to control with mouse ? I often lean back and do things with a mouse and prefer both options if possible.

Never got around to using mux, but this seems nice.

Thx.

Yes, Zellij runs on top of bash/fish etc, no need to change your existing shell. And yes, you can control with your mouse as well, but you can't resize the panes with your mouse - but other than that, most mouse operations work as you'd expect.

Well, if I need to resize those rigid panes, I'll just have to suck it up and manually move my hand to the keyboard ! ..and exercise is supposedly healthy anyway 🙃

I'll give it a spin. Thanks a lot.

edit: git had good information: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij

edit2: "Try Zellij without installing

bash/zsh: bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch) fish/xonsh: bash -c 'bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch)' "

VERY easy to test out!
