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.

A replacement for dolphin that can look just as pretty? (lemmy.world)

Moved to using KDE recently and it's everything I've ever wanted in aesthetics and customization. Unfortunately, dolphin doesn't refresh when files are moved around and while I tried to accept it, I just can't. Showing me where files are is literally the only job of a file manager.

Are there any other file managers that can take all the themes and colors in KDE? I love having a full theme but I can't stand this manual refresh thing.

I can't say I know what that is.

Oh sorry! In Linux there are different ways of formatting your drives, kind of like FAT32 and NTFS in Windows, if you're familiar with those? Anyway, ext4 is like the old reliable in Linux, and btrfs is the newer one which I think is the default on some distros now.

Anyway, if you open up Konsole and type lsblk -f it should tell you which one you have. I don't think you can change it without reformatting and starting over though.

Oh ok, I know what page we're on now. I use ext4 for all my drives, save for 2 loaner flash drives in NTFS and the drive for my hacked 360 in fat32.
