Is there any way to use Pop without the gnome backend? Gnome and Pop both ship with Nautilus, and apparently don't work well without it, but Nautilus doesn't have type-ahead navigation. This is when you are in a directory and start typing the first few letters of the file you want to get to. In Windows Explorer, that will just lead to the cursor skipping ahead, whereas in Gnome, this starts a search for the file. It's absolutely appalling behaviour, and the developers are obstinate to a fault at changing this, despite outcry.
- shrike 5y agoYes. I use Pop!_OS with Plasma, it's great. The documentation includes details on switching to 8 different desktops. https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/ https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/
- milankragujevic 5y agoI had the same issue and resolved it on Pop! OS with this patched nautilus from a PPA. https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nautilus-typeahead https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nauti... Works great for me!
- helmholtz 5y agoOh hell yes. Thank you! I think it's time to give Pop a chance again then!
