Layers was AT&T’s proprietary windowing system, shipped with the #UNIX PC (PC 7300), predating the widespread adoption of X11. Layers acted like a graphical multiplexer—a distant ancestor of tmux or screen—but ran directly on a bitmap display with rudimentary window management. Via @unix-byte.bsky.
