The thing I'll miss the most about OS X is Miller columns in Finder.
- wildrhythms 10y agoWow, I never really thought about this, but is Finder still the only major file manager with a proper miller column view? I use it exclusively to a point where I find that using other file managers (Windows Explorer, Thunar, Nautilus, etc) feels clunky and inefficient in comparison.
- Ezhik 10y agoYeah, same. Really fell in love with Miller columns and don't have a good file manager replacement on other OS. Even worse, apparently both Thunar and Nautilus dropped their implementations.
- andai 10y agoWhere are you going?
- Ezhik 10y agoTorn between Windows and Linux at the moment. I know Elementary's file manager has Miller columns, but it's a pain to get it on Fedora, which I prefer over Debian-based distros. For Windows I have no idea.
- andai 10y agoWindows 7 is supported until 2020, in case you liked that one. That should at least give you time to think things over :) How has your experience with Elementary been? I've been thinking of getting a MacBook for my mom in a few months. In the meantime, I had to reinstall her linux laptop, so I thought I'd give her Elementary because I heard good things about it, and from the screenshots I figured it would be like halfway between linux and mac, so might ease the transition a little. But in the end, I got so frustrated with it I switched it back to Xubuntu!

- Ezhik 10y agoAesthetic. How feasible is it to actually use whatever file manager GNUstep has outside of it?
- dredmorbius 10y agoGNUstep is just another widget kit, though one that's intended to work together. You're under no obligation. I use Windowmaker largely without the GNUstep file manger -- bash is my preferred interface. But it's there, and you can run that freestanding under any desktop or windowmanager you want. Part of the beauty and/or asthetic confusion, as well as freedom, of Linux / BSD.
