That's what I thought. I'd be happy if anyone chimed in with a legitimate reason, but I won't be surprised if the lack of a recycling bin is just one more symptom of the Linux developer community's apathy towards the actual human beings who use their software.
- uxp 15y agoI would speculate that it is a historical reason. It's no secret that the Unix environment was not designed for personal use in homes, but on mainframe time shared computers inside universities and businesses. Space was limited, and just moving files to another location to deal with later added unnecessary steps to a process that didn't have much of a benefit, at the time. As space has become less valuable on computers, and they have become less of a specialized tool, it may be wise to add one, but most of the desktop environments already implement it already so there is no need to recreate the functionality at a lower level.
