I'll take a rust tmux if it runs on Windows. I'm currently kind of stuck on Windows and I didn't realize how much tmux means to me until Bill took it away :(

Why are you stuck on Windows?

Some programs only run on Windows, this isn't a new problem. Personally, the only reason I have a Windows installation on my desktop is because Ableton doesn't run (well) via Wine, so not a lot of options really.

Yep I've been doing this since WSL 1 was available, it's rock solid.

My dotfiles at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles have an install script to automatically get everything (including tmux w/ plugins) set up on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux or macOS. This includes native Linux and WSL 2 support.

At least he's not stuck on MacOS

WSL is not Windows. Unless you can work entirely in WSL (and if I could I'd just use Linux) having to juggle fake filesystems, incompatible symlinks, two PATHs, three shells is a bit much.

Most people in big companies are stuck with Windows. But WSL2 is really amazing, even if a workaround in idea.

This. DAW support in Linux has always been kind of rough. It's slowly getting better though with stuff like Bitwig and Reaper.
