This is the generous list of file attributes you can easily choose to be shown in the Windows Explorer details view, since at least Windows XP, launched before most people browsing /g/ right now were even more.

On Linux - even on KDE, which at least has thumbnails, you can't even list and sort by basic attributes like video resolution or audio bitrate, which makes it utterly useless for anybody attempting to do any sort of work or even hobby that isn't programming or server-oriented.

Honestly the explorer interface is one of the few really nice things about Windows, provided you have the ribbon shit minimized on 8+. I've not seen a single OS with a more functional/better looking graphical file explorer.

Windows search is a slow piece of shit and everyone installs a third party application to search for files if they do it more than once a year.

search actually works

but it's the lack of thumbnail grid view and lack of "right click - Open with ... " that really grinds my gears.

Linux users can do that too

>gtk3 already does this, start typing and it will search for files
is it a way to change to the old behaviour?
it is fucking annoying if I just want to jump down to the letter h and scroll around, possibly to nearby files starting with other letters

not to mention it searches in subdirectories too

i wish i could use KDE for "glorious filepicker"
but literally everything else about KDE is turning me off

>>61095051
What exactly? You can hide a lot of the panels or enable optional ones in the core KDE apps if they look bloated. You also get nifty stuff like an embedded terminal emulators in the file manager and text editor that's aware of where you are, since all the KDE apps are aware of and can call each other.
The layout is absolutely fixable since everything on the desktop including the panels is a movable plasmoid. There's no obstacle to having a Unity or Gnome 3 ersatz.
