  1. Can somebody explain to me what programs are used here?
    My guess - at the bottom - vim, top right - terminal, top left - I don't know.

  2. And how to make such a byobu screen?

    The controls have changed since the accepted answer was posted. From Byobu's help page:

    • Split screen horizontally:

      • Shift+F2 or
      • Ctrl+A then |

    • Split screen vertically:

      • Ctrl+F2 or
      • Ctrl+A then %

    • Switch focus:

      • Shift+↑ ↓ ← → or
      • Ctrl+A then ↑ ↓ ← →

  2. 1 . Can somebody explain to me what programs are used here?

    • Program top left is the command htop (is similar to command top)
    • Program top right is indeed a terminal and the bottom one is indeed vim

    2 . And how to make such a byobu screen?

    • Horizontal split: Ctrl+A S
    • Vertical split: Ctrl+A | (there is a vertical screen patch that switches the shortcut to Ctrl+A V)
    • To move the focus to the next split: Ctrl+A Tab

    Some more shortcuts.
