Configuring Tmux

Persistence

systemd by default is configured to killing all user processes upon log out, including background running tmux or screen. To get back old behaviour several things need to be fixed.

/etc/systemd/logind.conf

[Login]
KillUserProcesses=no
KillExcludeUsers=root,<myusername>

allow lingering

loginctl enable-linger
