GNU Screen in Breadstick
Breadstick note
GNU Screen keeps a session running when the connection drops, which suits Breadstick's SSH server on port 2222: start a long job over SSH and pick it up again later. Breadstick's own Terminal keeps its tabs in tmux instead.
Breadstick runs Debian's own screen package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so GNU Screen should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Multiplexers and session tools run inside Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, as they do on a Linux PC. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About GNU Screen
From Debian's package description
GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer that runs several separate "screens" on a single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. Screen sessions can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.
Screen also supports a whole slew of other features, including configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable logging, and multi-user support.
From Debian's description of the screen package, under that package's license.
