Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    For some reason people get all ways extra fabulous when they make open source Software and need a fancy name instead of a great descriptive one...

    Or they could name it atleast nautilus the file explorer or something.

    It's actually called "GNOME Files" nowadays. And it's had the moniker "File Manager" for ages in the desktop entries for most distros, even if the official name was "Nautilus".

    I actually feel the other way around... if they had just called it "File Explorer" it'd come off as if they are getting "extra fabulous", because it implies the other file explorers are not really THE "File Explorer".

    Imagine if when Google launched Chrome they had decided to name it "Web Browser" instead of "Google Chrome".

    lol, thaat is so true. It's never just "File Explorer", is it?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    But there are many file explorers availiable so if you install multiple then it will be a bunch of file explorers. Well pre installed one can be shown with the name "Files" like gnome does

    yeah I know it's not the worst but organicmaps.org is the first that comes to my mind. I thought it was to find some organic veggies or whatever no mo it's an actual fork of maps.me that's basically better than it because it has no ads and no trackers and the same functionalities.
