On Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon how to set an infinite `screen` `scrollback`?
May 23, 8:10pm
To set an infinite scrollback for screen on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, add this line to your ~/.screenrc file:
sh
defscrollback 1000000
Steps:
Open or create the config file:
sh
nano ~/.screenrc
Add the line above (or use a higher number if needed).
Save (Ctrl+O, then Enter) and exit (Ctrl+X).
Restart screen or start a new session.
Note: screen has no true "infinite" option—this sets the buffer to 1 million lines, which is effectively unlimited for most use cases. Adjust the number if you need more.
