I'm going to try to get Dolphin through security review at my company. QUICK everyone start listing reasons why my company should take on the risk of installing Dolphin.
spent almost a decade straight on Win10 LTSC then switched to regular Win11 - I think Microsoft forgot how to make software. Vanilla edition is so bloated it is scary. Considering embracing Ubuntu.
Check out Mint or PopOS! over Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is falling behind in the desktop experience, as well as their insistence of using their proprietary backend for snaps over flatpaks, and overriding tools that you expect to get the flatpaks and causing trouble shooting issues because you are expecting one behavior but getting another (not that hard to work around or translate once you know, but still a hassle.
Also, Mint and PopOS! are just great experiences and were top contenders for my personal desktop (dev, gaming, power user) switch from Win10 -> Linux. I wound up going with Arch/Garuda because it's forcing me to learn far more about Nix than I've learned as a dev. I still might make the switch since Garuda can become unstable occasionally due to the way that the OS is "bleeding edge", and forces me to troubleshoot the causes (I guess this is what I wanted to learn?) instead of doing personal dev, gaming, or desktop entertainment.
Dolphin is the best file manager of all time. Both linux and windows.
The thing that really annoys me with Linux file explorers is that none of them have a "sort by extension". They have sort by type, but it'll mix .jpg, .png, .gif and .webp together, for instance.
Well, apparently that is a thing in Dolphin, but if what you actually want is e.g. to just move all .png files, then I prefer to use the Filter bar (Ctrl+i or the fourth entry in the hamburger menu). You can just type ".png" into it and then it hides all entries which don't contain that substring.
Great! Dolphin is also better than macOS Finder. I would replace it with Dolphin as well.
However, Windows Explorer in Windows 11 still excels in one area: it doesn't have a header, and the tabs are displayed on the header, like in Chromium.
It's also annoying that all KDE Dolphin tabs have that red [X] button. Sadly, the KDE developers reject great PRs like this one: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/269
Who even presses those [X] buttons? I always use the Ctrl+W shortcut.

My God, what a read... I love KDE, but holy shit, these guys really need to pull the sticks out of their arses...
I actually like the Windows file explorer. Used to be my favorite, before Dolphin. Nowadays I'd say Dolphin is slightly better overall, but could still use a change inspired by Windows or two. For instance, I really like the drive view on the Windows file explorer's home page.
Really? Thatβs awesome! Hold on, I need to go install it on my one PC that still runs windows.
There is also Krusader that might be worth looking into.
I like Thunar better. There was something really minor about Dolphin I didn't like. Maybe it was the way it handled tags or something, I can't remember anymore.
I think I know this meme template from somewhere, but I cannot quite recall from where. Could you give us a link to the original?
