You can use tmux-login as a login shell to always run your favorite shell
inside a tmux session.
Important: It's nearly impossible to get a terminal without a tmux session,
so attaching to a remote tmux session (e.g. doing pair programing) can be challenging.
Running konsole zsh or xterm zsh (replace with your terminal) spawns a
terminal without tmux.
