to me the most underrated thing i miss on Linux compared to mac is the file manager. I'm trying to get nnn setup efficiently but the out of the box options feel incredibly half baked in comparison to finder
- throwaway47399 6y agoFinder has no "open in terminal" option - into the trash it goes
- FeeJai 6y agoDrag and drop will do
- mrschwabe 6y agoI recommend Nemo. If on Ubuntu, follow this guide: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/07/how-to-replace-nautilus-with-nemo-file.html https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/07/how-to-replace-nautilu...
- apjana 6y agoCan you please elaborate what you mean by "half baked"? nnn has macOS users and I believe the number is picking up given we are getting more bug reports from macOS users recently. Knowing macOS users, we can consider polishing some crude corners if the problem statement seems reasonable.
- conceptualspace 6y agothe comment was directed towards the default file managers, nautilus etc, not nnn. i love nnn! keep up the good work!
- conceptualspace 6y agoto elaborate on my experience with the others, generally they are slow or have poor ux for common tasks like search or rename, lack a decent content view (thumbnails), etc
- apjana 6y agoYes, as a user I feel nnn was extremely disruptive as a FM. As the author I see at least 7 to 8 FMs drawing inspiration from it, which is a very positive testimony.
- apjana 6y agoGot it! Thanks for clarifying.
