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.

ssh can be your best friend. Apart from the fact it can give you secure admin access to the device and its files from virtually anything, your phone, another computer..

It also offers you the added one liner tools like sshfs for adding remote drives which act as they are mounted locally... then you get the best expeirence in my opinion better than winscp, because it feels native.

It isn't better than WinSCP, is it way worse as Nautilus is way less flexible and has less features. And it isn't as practical, at all. And not everything is SSH either.

Not in my experience. I dont use nautilus.. You should maybe look at improving your shitty network than complaining about the tools you dont know how to use.
