From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome’s Nautilus is a long way away from being Finder. It certainly trying very hard, and there are some things I like about Nautilus more than I like about Finder, but Finder has a lot of polish that is missing from Nautilus.

That said, I look forward to The development of Nautilus and all of the improvements that will bring.

Huh, i have the complete opposite reaction. Having to move to macos for work finder is probably my least favourite bit. It feels like it is deliberately trying to hide the file system and my files from me and just give me the files it thinks i want, id have nautilus or thunar installed in a heartbeat.

I hate finder so much lol

Finder? Polished? Even compared to Windows Explorer, Finder is terrible.

The list of things you can do is a bit cherry picked too. For example, in a web browser file upload dialog, try previewing the images you want to upload. You can’t do it in Gnome. It’s been an outstanding fix request for 20+ years!

I love Gnome but I think KDE's Dolphin beats them all. Fortunately being Linux you can always use Dolphin with Gnome.

Finder is crasherific.

All I read here is "finder is better, but I won't give you any reasons". My sister is a die hard Apple fan, and she hates finder. So, yeah, unless you can bring a good argument for your claim, finder is pretty crap.

Funny, because that’s not at all what I said.

And I wasn’t making an argument, I was expressing an opinion. If you want an argument, go to somebody else.

Nah, I'm good, your downvote speaks for itself.
