It's like having a one-line terminal at the top of each window, in which you can type a destination anywhere on your system and instantly be taken there. It's a simple design decision, but it can be a huge feature contributing to efficiency. There's also a search function there, and the option to toggle the location bar between editable text and a button.Įditable URI bars are sometimes undervalued. The GNOME-ish convention of placing view control buttons in the top right is retained, and you can use the buttons to quickly switch your view of your files from large icons to a detailed list or a compact view. It's got a familiar look and feel, with buttons in similar places and options that you're likely to recognize. If you're used to GNOME, either of the past or of today, then Nemo feels like home from the start. Of course, as the desktop's progenitor, Linux Mint is also available with Cinnamon preinstalled. On Linux Mint, Debian, and similar: $ sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment On Fedora, Mageia, and similar: $ sudo dnf install cinnamon-desktop The source code for Nemo is available online but it requires cinnamon-desktop to build, so the easiest way to install Nemo is to just install Cinnamon. One of the components contributing to the traditional GNOME experience is Nemo, a file manager based on the GNOME 2 version of Nautilus. Eventually, it diverged enough to be a true fork, and today the Cinnamon desktop uses GTK3 libraries and forked versions of key GNOME 3 applications to create a 'classic' GNOME experience. The Cinnamon project was formed as a reimplementation of GNOME 2 using the components of GNOME 3. In this article, I'm taking a look at a file manager for your Linux system. Computers are fancy filing cabinets, full of virtual folders and files waiting to be referenced, cross-referenced, edited, updated, saved, copied, moved, renamed, and organized.
