Obsolete Command-Line Tools of Linux

Tmux is rarely ever there by default (only on OpenBSD that I know of), but it's always available. On the other hand, screen isn't available by default on many Linux distros either.

No matter how old the machine/distro, screen is packaged. Tmux is only packaged for recent distro versions.

Are you running a lot of systems on over-decade-old OSs? Because tmux isn't really new anymore
