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.

Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality.

If someone dares to point that on redit they get "Then go use windows" (Linux is not a religion). or it's opensource go do it yourself.

Is there a File Manager project that would like to implement features, there are many projects that allow feature request but don't act on it.

I got many ideas.

i just want a tag based file explorer, but that's way harder to do and it struggles with the core architecture of the system

I saw this before but I wasn’t ready, I think I might be now…

okay, that is pretty good and i think it fits some good cases, but there are other where you need tags. i guess i could use this and an image explorer that supports tags. That's where my main issue is, most images are more than 1 thing at once, so I end up not knowing where to store it and my image folder is a mess of 10.000 files.
