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.

Nice. The improvements to Nautilus (Files) are welcome, but it's still the the reason why I'm leaving Gnome for KDE, anyhow. I can't stand Nautilus.

You can change the default file manager. I've been using Nemo for years because Nautilus was pretty bad. Once I update I'll have to re-evaluate and see what I think.

It's a real shame that Nautilus doesn't have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.
