alt Hacker NewsYou can detach from screen/tmux, leave it running in the background, and log back in later to the same screen/tmux like you left it.

Ah ok. Seems like the log out metaphor is kind of broken then?
It seems to me if you want persistence between logouts, the processes should belong to a different group/user.

What I don't get is why (on Arch) I have linger off yet have never had trouble with tmux/ zellij being killed.
Edit: ah, this post clears it up. Mentions linger has nothing to do with screen muxers, and also brings KillUserProcesses to peoples attention.
Damn systemd and its multiple levels of convenience.
