We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let's create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!

a gnu until that let's you run a persistent session, even if you log off. log back in and reattach your screen and whatever you were doing is still running.

Curious as to why is that. Can you please elaborate?

Sure thing, the reasons that are most important for me personally are better multi-attach, easier splitting and resize, better plugin ecosystem and it being more modern and actively maintained in general.

I was recently introduced to this and I am very glad I found it. I was once recommended it, but then I thought they meant to attach a physical screen to my headless server....
