About Gpm
Gpm was created in 1995 to enhance the usability of Linux virtual consoles by enabling mouse support. It allowed users to perform cut-and-paste operations and interact with terminal applications using a mouse, significantly improving the text-based user experience.
Strengths of Gpm include enhanced usability of text-based terminals and improved user interaction through mouse support. Weaknesses include limited functionality compared to modern graphical environments and potential compatibility issues with certain terminal applications. Competitors include tmux and screen, which provide advanced terminal multiplexing features but lack native mouse support integration like Gpm.
