Best and only fully open source software (FOSS) for SSH/RDP/SFTP/X11 session management available

From screenshots it looks to be a PAC-manager fork ? Why you do not mention this clearly ?

From the Releases page (https://github.com/asbru-cm/asbru-cm/releases) it states:

The very first Ásbrú Connection Manager Release :) No new feature, this release is only a rebranding of the** former application**. Disclaimer This is the first pre-release to collect the first feedbacks. Use it at your own risks ! At least, please make sure you have a proper backup of your configuration files (that you should find in ~/.config/pac) before testing Ásbrú on a production environment.

Ah they say so in the FAQ section : https://github.com/asbru-cm/asbru-cm/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions

So this is a PAC manager fork.
