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.

I'm a single click person, but I welcome this change. Those who like single click already know where to change it. This is good for new users.
It makes file system navigation much faster and more pleasant imo, I'm definitely reverting this.
How do you select without executing?
I haven't tried it but if it works the same as a mobile OS you long click to select. Single click to execute.
Edit: apparently that's not how it works. There is a checkbox on every icon that you have to click directly on the check box to select/unselect.
I wish a long click worked on desktop though...
