m Under Unix-like systems: Caption punctuation adjustment, per WP:CAPFRAG
Line 44:
In addition, the rise in popularity of [[Linux]] brought many former DOS users to a Unix-like platform, which has fostered a DOS influence in many TUIs. The program [[minicom]], for example, is modeled after the popular DOS program [[Telix]]. Some other TUI programs, such as the [[Twin (windowing system)|Twin]] desktop, were [[ported]] over.
 
Most Unix-like operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) support [[virtual console]]s, typically accessed through a Ctrl-Alt-F key combination. For example, under Linux up to 64 consoles may be accessed (12 via function keys), each displaying in full-screen text mode.
 
The [[free software]] program [[GNU Screen]] provides for managing multiple sessions inside a single TUI, and so can be thought of as being like a [[window manager]] for text-mode and command-line interfaces. [[Tmux]] can also do this.
