The most clearest description of file explorer: Dolphin (?)

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Like if Nautilus is any better

Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.

Once a couple employers ago, I got an email from IT admins demanding that I uninstall that "game".

[-] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

The nautical theme also continues with Nemo

[-] T156@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Meanwhile, Midnight Commander reads like the title to a pornogram.

[-] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Dolphin, the total commander of nautilus!

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Wasn’t it named after Norton Commander?

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, yeah, but then the same applies to Norton Commander as well :D

PCManFM (rare LXDE W)

The application most likely to cause confusion among True Gamers™ who got fed up with Windows.

(PRO TIP: dolphin is the KDE file manager, dolphin-emu is what you really want. PRO TIP 2: To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies)

[-] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Oh, a hybrid of dolphin and an emu. What a wonderful idea.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies

Jack is potentially the most sensibly named.

Is pipewire pipe or wire? Only the gods are allowed to know that.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Or nautilus. My assumption is the files are in your sea not in their cloud.

[-] zeb420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Lumberjack or woodpecker honestly would have been better names since file systems are basically trees

[-] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If the file system is a tree, naming the file manager for someone whose job it is to destroy the tree seems silly.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Is that where ranger got it's name?

[-] kreiger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

WDYM "explorer", is that some weird name for a file manager?

[-] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

You can explore file system, but how would you dolphin it?

[-] BurnoutDV@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I always loved the logically escalation with konquerer

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It kind of makes sense. You are swimming the sea of misorganized random piles of files and folders you have created.
