Use os dois: um gerenciador de janelas lado a lado e um multiplexador de terminal.
Combine seus recursos e vantagens para obter uma sinergia ainda melhor. Na minha configuração do i3 eu regularmente exibo vários terminais ao mesmo tempo, mas todos eles conectados à mesma sessão do tmux , para que eu possa exibir todas as janelas do tmux qualquer um dos terminais .
Na verdade, eu uso os recursos de tiling de i3
para substituir / aumentar a funcionalidade de divisão / movimentação de janelas do multiplexador de terminal para (imho) obter o melhor dos dois mundos.
O script abaixo é usado aqui para gerenciar a conexão de sessão / detecção e limpeza na inicialização do terminal:
#!/bin/bash
# This script attaches the terminal to a common session, where all
# terminals can show any window of the main tmux session independently
# This script also cleans up "old" sessions
# Todo: Cosmetic fix-ups. Make less verbose.
