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 mean you're criticizing a piece of free software like they made it just for you. Grow up and have some perspective

Oh my - yes the KDE team is surely above criticism.

Hey man, they gave us Kdenlive. That thing has singlehandedly taken down Sony VEGAS Pro and so many other worse, closed-source, commercial video-editing programs. If you dislike Dolphin, find any one of the other thousands of file managers, but don't attack KDE.

Holy hell kdenlive has been one of the buggiest apps I have ever used. I've wanted to like it so much but just about every time I've tried to use it for simple editing, combining clips, etc. it has just crashed at some point.

Now it has gotten more stable lately, but boy did you pick the worst example for stability...

[–] Dymonika@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol I guess I dodged the instability because I was using it on Windows all these years up until a few months ago, where it was mostly fine!

To be fair - it has gotten a lot better in the last few years. For a while though it was super frustrating.
