>fluid
>designed using modern design standards

holy shit windows is so cluttered. It's hard to tell what's an ad and what's not. There's just so much going on.

Retard.

By the way, this is what it looks like without ricing

>>59775194
so it's basically an uglier and less sleek nautilus?

>>59775083
Nautilus is trash use Nemo instead

>>59775215
But much more fuctional and customizable

>>59775056
Nemo

>>59775235

I only open the file explorer to look at porn (so I can see the thumbnail)

Everything else can be done in a terminal.

File explorers don't need millions of features if you know how to use the command line.

>>59775056
>which file explorer is prettiest?
yes, please continue pontificating about which file explorer is the "prettiest" as thinly-veiled justification for your personal preferences, while we continue getting work done.

-Windows users.

Please kill yourself.
>pwned
Wait, kill your family and THEN yourself.

I like Finder, but resizing windows doesn't reorganize files so at times if you have a small window you're probably wondering where the fuck those files are, since you probably have hidden scrollbars as well. Also hidden files and merging nonsense, but the rest is gold.

>>59775260
Yeah, seems pretty smart to have to type in a terminal each time you want to know how much disk space left, or to have to use a browser to move around files in google drive, instead of using kio-gdrive (obscured in my screenshot).
And does Nautilus have split view? Having to use file managers without it is a pain in the ass.

>>59775281
Yet you need to restart *nux boxes for certain updates...

>>59775281
>>constantly having to restart to install new updates
I have automatic updates set to the most aggressive setting, and I've never once been interrupted in the middle of work. I sometimes come home from work to my PC having restarted on its own, but since I actually know how to use the save feature of my editors I have never once lost any work.

>>constantly getting pwned by malware
The last Windows virus I ever got was a decade and a half ago, during the bad old 2000 and XP pre SP2 days, when my dorm room had a direct unfirewalled connection to the internet.

>"productive"
Yep. It's amazing how much you can get done when you don't spend your days tweaking, optimizing, and reinstalling different flavors of an operating system.

I'm partial to pretty much all the Linux file managers. They're all clean, simple, and powerful. The only one I think that stands above the rest is dolphin but I think it wastes some space and isn't as stable in my experience. Also you are stuck using kde which isn't ideal for everyone.

>>59775268
>having to close ads before you start your work

>>59775340
> type in a terminal each time you want to know how much disk space left

easier to type one command than to open the file exporer and navigate around until you finally find what you're looking for

>browser to move around files in google drive
bot net

>And does Nautilus have split view?
That's bloat, you can open two windows side by side.

Is there any linux file browser that will remember how I want to view each folder?

i.e. I want the default to be set to "details" or small rows or whatever, but I want to set my picture and video folders to display in thumbnail mode automatically. As it is with nautilus I can only switch the way it displays all folders.

>>59775056

> no tabs

>>59775756
dolphin will let you do this

>>59775756
pcmanfm has this option. Just change the view mode and check "Preserve this folder's settings"

Why isn't there any good Windows file manager/explorer alternatives?

By "good", I mean non-windows 98 skinned program (Explorer++, FileCommander, Xplorer2)or dos-like file managers.

*nix systems has good file managers.

>>59779252
There's tons of bloatware and garbage with windows, things that you don't need, simple is pretty.

>>59775056

I have never seen that file explorer in my life. I have never seen an ad pop up in my life on my Windows 10 Pro desktop and Windows 10 home laptop. I assume that image is fabricated.

Most functional file explorer coming through.
vifm:
>has a client/server architecture
>can integrate with vim/neovim
>can select complex patterns of files and folders with regular expressions
>can manipulate those files in any way a file can be modified or used, including mass renaming in an editor of your choice
>has a register system
>has a filter system
>way more features that I'm not getting to
>is massively customizable
it basically gives you the power of a terminal with visual feedback

>>59780953
everything should have optional client server architecture. it gives ultimate control to those who need it. just because you don't need it doesn't mean it's bad

>>ads built into file explorer
I've literally never seen an ad in the file explorer. What is this you're speaking of?

>>59780640

I don't get any ads in any part of windows 10. Never have.

>>59779652
And what if you run other programs? Or do you run only the kernel?

You are right, but that's not very realistic.

>>59775749
>Split view
>Bloat
I can agree with you on Google Drive integration being unnecessary. But, where's a working file picker in any GTK based file manager? Is that bloat too? Developers sure think so.

Oh god clicking the terminal window I keep open because I can do 90% of what I want to do with a computer in it and typing 5 characters was so much harder than opening a single purpose gui and navigating to the the device I want and opening the usage window. Thanks for enlightening me! Good call comparing your software to Windows 10 functionality. You really set that bar high.
