From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's really slow progress on these things. Someone should make a better file browser with features like Dolphin for Gnome.

Both hell no. I think pcmanfm-qt is the only good Filemanager apart Dolphin and Nautilus. But it also lacks many things.

The "type to filter" feature is awesome and way more useful than dolphins search.

I used it during a time where Dolphin always crashed for weird reasons, and it was tolerable

Dolphin has a filter feature, in addition to its search.

Maybe that can be remapped somehow

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

It can, all shortcuts on Dolphin are remappable.

No. :) Those are even less full featured than nautilus.

Thunar is a way, way better...

My dude nautilus didn't even have its own open in terminal button until 2022.
