Cool, GNU Screen 5.0 is out [1].

Screen has its set of perks when compared to tmux:

  1. screen -L -dmS <session name> <command> (I’m aware of tmux pipe-pane but it is not atomic with the session creation).
  2. screen <serial port>
  3. Local layout for a session per client.

When doing kernel CI the first bullet can be sometimes particularly useful.

I tried if 24-bit-color.sh runs successfully in 5.0. It does. Also true-color vim themes work! This was the reason I've been using tmux for past few years so I guess it is time to return :-)

Even when using tmux I've used "screen -L -dmS" a lot in scripting because it wraps a QEMU instance to a quick and dirty virtual machine manager for a single VM, or like named pointer for the PID . It's sometimes surprising how effective results you can get with archaic tools if you just have ever bothered to read the documentation.
