Tmux-based developer OS

Create a Linux distro where every system function is accessible through Tmux keybindings. For developers who live in terminals.

Why now

Developers are rethinking OS interfaces completely around keyboard workflows they already use daily.

Who for
Terminal-centric developers
Business model
Paid distro
Effort
A few months

Developers waste time switching between terminal and GUI apps for system tasks.

Package a Linux distro where package management, file ops, and apps all work through Tmux.

Power users would pay for a polished version of their ideal workflow.

Start with a bash script that adds basic system controls to Tmux.

Major risk is small target audience of hardcore terminal users.
