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.

Nope. They work fine. Several distros even use them out of the box without issue.
You clearly never used those extensions.
Not for a long time, no. I prefer zero extensions. But back when I did... zero issues.
And right now millions of people do and I don't see widespread issues.
I think you're letting your irrational hatred cloud your judgement..
It's not a widespread issue, it's something with the desktop icon extensions and the original implementation. In both cases the drag and drop from/to apps never worked fine.
