What would you be aiming for, exactly?

I would imagine a Ubuntu desktop would do much more for you than tmux would. Or, are you trying to go without a desktop environment altogether, and do everything in the console? In that case, yes, tmux would be a nice addition to multitask on one screen.

I just toyed around with Hyprland for a bit this morning over coffee. Check it out, it's a nice tiling window manager that uses Wayland, and very easy on resources. You wouldn't need tmux, and could still open up gui applications if you wanted to do so. Very configurable and customizable, and there's even some community provided non-default setups (I went with 'end-4' configuration, but others are nice, too) you can start with so you don't have to do it all yourself while simply trying to figure it all out.

I just realized I'm so far behind on some of the new stuff out there (I've been using linux console for many years now). With others elsewhere discussing IceWM and whatever else I've never given a chance, I started looking around a bit lately.

Regards,
Nick
