I tried to reproduce this on my end using Ubuntu 26.04 and tmux 3.6a-2
(from the apt archive, not the snap), but it seems to be working
perfectly.
I set up a quick ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf with a very obvious change
(set -g status-bg red) and made sure I didn't have a legacy ~/.tmux.conf
sitting in my home directory. When I started tmux, it picked up the XDG
config right away.
Since native XDG support was added way back in tmux 3.2, any recent
Ubuntu release should read from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf without
any issues.
To help narrow down why it's failing on your machine, could you double-
check a few things?
Versions: What Ubuntu release are you on, and what does tmux -V
output?
Legacy config: Do you have an old ~/.tmux.conf lying around? tmux
actually prioritizes the home directory file over the XDG path, so if
that file exists, it will completely ignore your .config setup.
Environment variables: Is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set to something specific
on your system?
** Changed in: tmux (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
