    What are your favorite features of the Windows 10 file manager? Listing what you miss from other operating systems can help the Linux ecosystem to improve.

      For me on Gnome Files (Nautilus) its little things:

      • List view of files which they had but REMOVED
      • Using Alt up/down instead of backspace. Must admit unlearning this helped me use it on Win11 the same way
      • Recent places (folders not files) which was removed also iirc

        Nautilus also has the default bookmarks for Videos, Documents, etc hard coded and the only way to change their location/remove them is by editing config files.

      Man I wish my feedback would help but nobody is going to take the time to change something just because a random person complains about it on Lemmy, and neither am I gonna start a fork just for the sake of having my feature there.

      Anywho, my biggest problem is with the “detailed view” mode and how it’s done in ALL file explorers on Linux.
