    i just can't stand gnome anymore, it was my favorite for a long time too. KDE is fine but I fucking hate Dolphin. I'm into Cosmic right now but I'm not sure I like the file manager

    [–] Limerance@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Cosmic is fun and has a lot of potential. It’s a bit like a new take on XFCE. However it has weird limitations and bugs still. For example when editing the top and bottom panel, it’s divided into beginning, end, and center. XFCE and other solve this with providing a flexible space to achieve the same.

    I have discovered a few anoyances with Cosmic, the file manager is crap lol

    [–] Limerance@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Yes, it’s early days. 

    There are a couple of really cool projects going on at the moment, that use some kind of tiling.

    DankLinux and Noctalia used with niri is worth trying for example. 

    Omarchy gets a lot of hate, however it’s actually really well done. Probably the best intro to a tiling window manager with keyboard focus. The included features are well thought out. Included documentation is excellent. It also looks great. Lots of attention to detail. It shows how to make a distro that’s very different from Windows and Mac OS. Instead of trying to ape the popular OS, it leans into the strengths of Linux.

    thanks for the info, I will give them a look

    Interesting, dolphin is by far my favorite file manager. What don't you like about it?

    [–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

    I'd have to use it again to tell you, to be honest. It's been couple months since I last did and so my memory is a little foggy except for my dislike. I remember not liking how tabs work and how it took a bunch of tinkering to make it less annoying.

    on a machine that I ran for years, i basically did kde but with a different file manager, that was wonky and presented it's own problems but it wasn't Dolphin so I was satisfied

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    That's crazy Dolphin is the best file manager on Linux. Nemo is second and the rest is unusable trash lacking so many features.

    [–] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

    Last time I used Nemo it was an unstable mess, but that was a while ago. I'm sure it's been improved.
