Linux

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.

lf (as in list files) is a modern alternative to ranger with significant improvements in terms of speed and reliability. This guide is intended to help users who are familiar with ranger to switch to lf more comfortably.

The main reason for me still using ranger over lf is the reasonable defaults. I want to be able to install the file manager on a new system without having to configure basics like creating directorys or deleting files.

The lfrc config in the linked repo is intended to fix that. Sure you still need to clone the config from github into your .config, but that is normally the case for quite a few tools.
