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 don't know what you mean. If a open my Downloads folder and then download something, it shows up in Nautilus without refreshing anything
I mean at least there is a batch rename function unlike in windows
Again, I can't reproduce it. I can move many GB instantly using ctrl + x and ctrl + v
The only thing that really annoys me with Nautilus is that you can't type in the directory path you want to open except using ctrl + L. In the hamburger menu there even is an option to copy the path. Why not make one more to edit it? Or replace copy with edit, because when editing you can also copy it anyway
Here's what I mean:

Oh, and...

Of cause you can batch rename with an additional tool. Same goes for nautilus
I don't want to debate win here, that's off topic, but batch renaming is something Explorer does.
Why the fuck does a desktop app have a hamburger menu though.
Why not?
Dolphin has a hamburger menu too, what's so weird about that?
Gnome and kde are horrible for that. Mobile UX on a desktop platform is terrible to use.
I feel like with every major UI update it takes more steps to do the same basic tasks.
They're gonna have to put those options somewhere and there's only so much space in the top bar
