What is with people and tomboys? Really.
To contribute to this thread: I'm still enjoying my Linux Mint, and no complaints so far. That Arch faggot above really should just consider "shooting" up something else in his body. Lead.

For reference
Whose brilliant idea was it to hide remaining disk space from bottom taskbar in Dolphin? Don't fuck with my settings you absolute assholes. What happened with applying new settings to clean installations only?

KDE was likely just the straw that broke the camel's back, Gnome is absolutely the quintessential fagtop experience, just the way Ebussy always wanted.

if it's a new arch install. you might need to install udisks2

Nah, dolphin had a new update that adds a "small" status bar option that just puts the file size in the bottom right corner instead of taking up the entire bottom portion of the file browser window.

Nope, old Arch installation.. I run updates weekly or bi-weekly on that particular machine.
That's exactly it.

I like the people individually in a way, I like the OSes, I like the laptops, I like most of the tools, but I despise the culture. The culture is what stops me getting too involved on a personal level, it's gay and cringe. I don't want to be under that umbrella, and it seems like a massive waste of time. You can build software without having to do all this shit, it makes me think the people that push this do it as a distraction from the fact they don't know many fundamentals.
The people that I saw complaining a lot in this space were hiding the fact that they had little knowledge and needed something else to talk about. I see this LGBT/Rainbows/Trans flag/Anime/Video game obsession as a part of that.

If I wanted this "feature", I would gladly go back to Windows. I thought the entire point of Linux in 2025 was that it didn't fuck with you and got out of your way?

I only first ran into the OFM term the other day (somehow) and I was nicely surprised at the term 'orthodox' since in the days of early Windows File Manager and DOS Shell I'd say tree-based was seen as the conventional choice.

I decided to try out Krusader on my main laptop since its all KDE programs, I have to say its a damn nice file manager. I've never used an OFM before so I'm still not used to it but I am getting the hang of it slowly. I'll still keep a traditional file manager around (Dolphin) for its strengths.

What the hell? I actually use that Zoom bar on my HTPC! I just got a full KDE update yesterday, but haven't restarted Dolphin yet. Good to know what I'm in for. It looks like you can turn the Zoom control back on at least:
Not sure about the free disk space, although I never used that. I have my storage % at the top of my screen in my Conky bar.

Do any of you guys use Manjaro? Back in like 2018 it was all the rage on the G board of 4chan. I'm considering trying it. Is it worth it in 2025? I am using Pop OS currently. I want something that is good for professional use cases but I also want to try the arch package manager. I'm not too into ricing or anything that's why I think Manjaro over Arch.

I used to use it until the package manager would regularily break things because manjaro holds back packages. Just use arch with the archinstall command for better results

if you want to use arch, but don't want to do all the set up. probably use use endeavor.
on file managers. I've been a fan of ranger, and similar file managers for a while.
also vifm can actually be nice, but it needed some configuration to make it into something i like, definitely don't bother messing with it if you've never used vim, and don't want to edit any config files. it definitely has a learning curve if you want to take advantage of what it can do.
yazi is one a lot of people have been talking about, and actually seems pretty full featured for a terminal file manager. It has a plugin system with a package manager, so you can install different things to add or remove features for you.
there is also lf, which is inspired by ranger too. but it's like an even more minimal version of it, its faster too. but the problem with lf, is because it's more minimal, you basically need to implement things yourself if something is missing you want. So that one, I especially don't recommend unless you really like diving into that kind of thing. vifm you don't have to mess with, it can just make some things a bit better imo if you mess with a few settings, lf though I image is more work than most people would want to put into just a file manager.

OFM's all originate from Norton Commander for MS-DOS from 1986. It's such a foolproof concept that it has managed to live on through the transition from CLI's to GUI's and is still as versatile as ever. Two file panels, one command line, robust keyboard shortcuts, and a metric fuckton of extra functionality baked in. Including tree views.
What you have to understand is that OFM's were designed to be operated with keyboard only. Once you get all the main keyboard shortcuts into your muscle memory, only then you'll be able to harness it's power. Wanna select all text files and move them to another folder in the second panel? Numpad+, *.txt, enter, F6, Enter. Done. Best part, just about every OFM will have these standardized, so it doesn't matter if you're using Krusader, Total Commander, Midnight Commander, Far Manager or even the OG Norton Commander, you'll feel right at home.
As for the strengths of traditional file managers, I can't see any. To use Total Commander as an example of a graphical OFM:
-it has Lister, which lets you view various files. From text files, images, videos and sound files, to more esoteric ones with the help of plugins like .torrent file metadata, PDF files, or executable data.
-It has the QuickView panel activated via Ctrl+Q, which turns the target panel into a Lister window. What this essentially means is that you can browse your meme folder in thumbnail view on the source panel, and as you move your cursor, the target panel previews the full resolution file. Your file manager is now an image viewer.
-It has a plethora of built-in tools, such as the directory synchronization tool, file comparison tool, multi rename tool, FTP client, file splitter/combiner file hash creator/verifier, and of course, can be expanded via plugins to include cloud storage support, SFTP support, ADB support and much more.
-It has native archive handling where you operate on them as if they were folders. You can pack files up, unpack them, modify archives, and guess what, plugins. Do you want to handle STALKER data files as if they were archives? There's a plugin for that.
-It has an extensible file search and navigation functions. Do you want to look up all the text files in a given directory that contain a specific string? That's an option. And yes, there are plugins here as well, so you can, for example, look up all the Office files that have a specific author name, or all the media files that match a specific parameter or metadata, and so on and so forth. It also has a directory tree view with which you can just type the name of the folder you want to jump to on a specific drive and it'll instantly find it so you can skip entire directory trees in your navigation.
-You can use the same plugins for file search to set up custom columns, for example to display music file metadata, and then then set up an automatic view change whenever you enter a directory that's mostly music files. You can also set up custom searches, and then set color highlights for files and/or folders that match them. Do you want for dead shortcuts/symlinks to show up as gray? You can do that. Do you want for working shortcuts/symlinks to show up as blue? Sure thing. Suddenly you've improved your file management experience by a tenfold with one simple trick.
There is so much more something like Total Commander can do that I haven't mentioned here, but you get the idea. A good OFM becomes your Swiss Army Knife you can't live without. In case of Total Commander, it quite literally is a Swiss Army Knife. Christian Ghisler, a Swiss, has been solo developing it for over three decades now, and it is as functional, reliable and smooth as a Victorinox SAK.
So I strongly encourage you to dig through every single little feature and configuration option in Krusader, because I'm sure you'll find something that'll completely change your daily workflow for the better. I've been using Total Commander for over a decade now and I still learn something new about it that ends up becoming indispensable.

OFMs are a literally perfect paradigm.
Most terminals, in the age of more human-centric design, would display 40 columns of text.
Back then, you chose your own filenames. And have filenames ever really needed to be more than 40-1 (for the divider)/2 wide (enough for a 2 digit date, 2 digit month, 2 digit day, plus 13 more significant bits? Never. If you were a spendthrift with an 80 column terminal? The world was your oyster.
Of course, nowadays, with infinite disk space, we have overly complex file names to work with. But if 'AI' gives us anything, it should be a world where we can do things like point something completely self contained at the hundreds of photos that we took from the last week of our family vacation, and have the AI just automatically change '20250429T070145_0t0wetike0.jpg' to '20250429_021_jennyYawnsCutely.jpg'. And you can easily organize photos with names like that on a fancy 80 column terminal, no sweat.
When I set my grandmother up to organize her camera phone photos, I set her up with MultiCommander, because pushing things from one folder to another makes more sense when they're side by side, just like you would do if you were organizing your prints. Anything else is unnatural.
