Hvala!

[@OldManTomJulio]

20+ year Linux user, Nautilus since beginning...had ZERO idea I could right click on back arrow and see previously visited directories. Well worth the subscription, thank you!

2+ year Linux user, Nautilus since 2 days...

Honestly dolphin is the one for me because it’s powerful and doesn’t feel stripped down / dumbed down like nautilus (no offense). You get a lot of features and you can customize the layout however you want.

[@androidbox6876]

Is it possible to ditch Nautilus from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ? And what else is better ?

[@The_Penguin_City]

Krusader.

[@unklebonehead]

This is an awesome video! More like it please!!!

[@igrewold]

Good job man thanks The general idea is that file managers can be tweaked to do more useful stuff So, I discover thunar the xfce file manager does have settings ant addons Thanks again for the good tips

[@WolvenSpectre]

As someone moving over to Mint for a long time since I casually used Linux, now setting it up as my primary system on a multiboot system this was also a big help for Nemo. The growing pains are real but this helped allot. Thanks.

[@sprtwlf9314]

Great video.

[@darren537]

You are appreciated

[@BartFlossom]

Thanks! I love the folder color feature. But I wish it would apply the selected color to all corresponding sub-folders -- or maybe I missed it.

[@peterschmidt9942]

Nice video. As I generally run KDE, I don't tend to use Files (Nautilus). Although it's my next choice if that's what's on the distro. It's a good file manager. It would be great to see a similar video for Dolphin

[@drakemallard6100]

Thx, very helpful! Unfortunately nautilus-gtkhash and folder color does not work anymore on gnome 44/45

[@pw1187]

Thanks for the tips, I have a love hate relationship with Gnome and it's file manager....

[@nickeuraptor]

Very nice video, good tips. I miss the most important for me as adding additional columns to handle music as bit-rate, genre, length and so on... In 2023 still hard to find something that work.

[@mkrleza]

Troy, I agree 100% on "Nautilus" vs. "Files." That being said, I ain't a GNOME fan (as you know), and gimme Dolphin as a fie manager any day. Otherwise, good video, good for you to "spread the wings" (so to speak) from distro reviews. I love that!

[@eBuzzCentral]

Thank you my friend.

[@eBuzzCentral]

I do believe that I will be moving from gnome, just a few little issues I'm going to do in my next video that really bug the crap out of me when I'm trying to work.

[@benjy288]

@@eBuzzCentral Would lack of smart window placement be one of those issues? it is for me, I hate how it just dumps windows on top of each other instead of placing them beside each other.

Random Gnome fanboy: Gnome is awesome. Same user: Uses at least one extension.

[@predragnikolic1259]

Very good content at least for linux noobs like me...I very much enjoined the content, more tutorials in general is a good thing, in my very subjective opinion. Stacer coverage was a great one as well there are a lot apps that people potentially don't know. If my opinion worth something :)

[@carloschaparro07]

Can you do a video for nemo (Mint)? The wipe and hashs would be useful.

[@jesse7631]

My only gripe with Nautilus is that you can't put other disk shortcuts in the navigation pane. Most all other file managers have this feature, but Nautilus is so stripped down.

[@paulg3336]

Do you mean "add to bookmarks" in the context menu

[@jesse7631]

@@paulg3336 No, you can add folders from mounted drives in the side bar (I guess it's not really a navigation pane), but you cannot add shortcuts to the mounted drives themselves.

[@paulg3336]

@@jesse7631 OK . I use Nemo but still have Nautilus installed . All my drives mount at boot . I see "other locations" in Nautilus but you are correct that only mounted drives show. In Nemo an unmounted USB drive is shown and can be remounted and unmounted at will without loosing the icon from the panel.

[@ComputerLI]

I love Dolphin folder thumbnails previews in KDE Plasma ... Is there anything like that for Nautilus in Gnome? Thanks ;)

[@epieursvelte13cirertrollferpur]

Thanks

[@anmattheou]

Great video, even though i don't use Nautilus and Gnome ..

[@guptaji0786]

Make a video on after Linux installation battery optimisation because after installation the battery drain fast

[@JamesJones-zt2yx]

I ditched Nautilus when I discovered that starting it changed my wallpaper. I looked around for advice on how to turn that "feature" off, but nothing I found claiming to be such worked. It made me that much more determined to not touch anything from GNOME.

[@chillpill7348]

U didnt sow Open in terminal option. How to activate it?

[@paulg3336]

You only need 2 tips: sudo apt remove nautilus sudo apt install nemo

[@benjy288]

Or caja, nemo and caja are basically what nautilus used to be like before the gnome guys decided that it would be a good feature to remove a bunch of features.

[@cybernit3]

Thanks for suggesting nemo! its FOSS has a webpage how to install and make default. I liked DirectoryOPUS on old Amiga. You ever use DoubleCommand? Was thinking of getting that but nemo is good enough for now.

[@MannyGraal]

Couldn't install most of those on fedora 36. I did use DNF instead of apt. Just got a didn't find a match etc...

[@tiagosinh1234]

First!

[@BtZealot]

I've seen videos on a Debian terminal program Nala. I think it is something you would be interested in and I would like to hear your opinion.

[@JohnGeldreich]

Unless you can configure Nautilus to use dual pane mode, I'll will stick with Dolphin.

[@mugichi8597]

what nautilus realy need - double window like nemo and dolphine

[@androidbox6876]

It does not go along well in auto tiling with Pop Shell on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

[@conan.camargo]

If you are using Fedora, this video may not be helpful as it appears that the instructions provided do not work on that operating system.

[@NormanF62]

All that pointless work can be avoided on Debian based distros by simply swapping Naitilus out for Nemo which is much a better file manager. Easy enough to do. If it ever comes to flathub for rpm based distros, Nemo will become the default standard. Why GNOME couldn’t have left things well enough with Nautilus, no one knows.

[@Mzansi74]

Who is here with Fedora 41? ;-)

[@em_the_bee]

Nautilus is not a good file manager, and the amount of features it has is the opposite of "plenty"
