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.

What Linux File Manager project would be interested in adding more features ? (lemmy.ml)

Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality.

If someone dares to point that on redit they get "Then go use windows" (Linux is not a religion). or it's opensource go do it yourself.

Is there a File Manager project that would like to implement features, there are many projects that allow feature request but don't act on it.

I got many ideas.

I can see why it’s not implemented.

... but it WAS implemented in nautilus before nautilus was dumbed down!

What is an android-style application launcher?

I mean the "App Switcher" for want of a better term. Generally, you swipe up to get to it. I think it used to be called the "App Grid" or "App Tray" when there was a middle physical button (or emulated target) for it. These days, I use Nova Launcher because (Guess what!) I wanted to add icons for my own scripts and a few O/S entry points that aren't strictly apps on their own. ... so my involvement with Gnome and Android launchers is a little out of date. I've moved on.
