I wonder if they fixed explorer throwing a fit every now and then that causes it to stop displaying thumbnails and instead displaying the default "white page" icon
I really wish I could figure out what the frick causes it. I've noticed that when it's doing its fit the explorer takes a while to "load", ie the green loading bar gets stuck at the very end indefinitely. I also have an issue where a folder icon has a black background for some reason.
The new folder button randomly up and disappeared from the context menu and the new folder button in explorer/file-picker no longer works, neither does the CTRL+SHIFT+N shortcut. I did not touch the registry and no amount of sfc /scannow or dism fixes it.
Readjusting all my settings in a new installation is a pain so I am stuck with entering cmd in the path bar and using mkdir to create directories.
Explorer is 1000% better than any of your bullshit Linux file managers.
You aren't fooling anyone you moronic shills. Most file explorers on Linux are a million times better than the slop on Windows. Try searching something with a regex string in a file system, try searching multiple hard drives and network drives at once, try renaming multiple files at once, try renaming files using multiple search and replace patterns at once. Linux had tabs in most file explorers years ago. Windows explorer is literally made for toddlers who don't work with their PC.

there's something very wrong with wangblows explorer. The search function is too slow. Thumbnails break randomly. Entering a folder with a shit ton of files causes weird things to happen. Downloading a file or moving it doesn't place it at the top when sorting by modification time (descending). Memory leaks. The search function isn't just slow, it's also moronic and fails to find things you're looking for for no fricking reason. Even cd, ls, rm, mv, find, etc. is superior to it and I use WSL2 and always open a terminal when I want to do something in a folder despite WSL2 being inherently slow.
I'm also talking about win10 here not win11. I dread to think how bad microsoftpeepee wanblows 11 is.
And also the fact that this OS just gives up if you have an uptime of more than 5-7 days. The bugs and memory usage that occurs after that point are insane. Like, the file manager just stops working and you can't see any drive anymore. Meanwhile I have a laptop in my room running Ubuntu, which has an uptime of 400 days (htop shows the little (!)) and it's still fast and bug-free. No memory leaks either.
>Even cd, ls, rm, mv, find, etc. is superior to it
All true except mv
Windows' merge behavior for move and copy is superior to the replace behavior by miles.
I don't want to manually copy files into a folder from another folder and then more for each subfolder. Nor do I want to be scared for my life that I will replace some important file unwittingly when copying my backups.
It's objectively better than any other file explorer equivalent though. >B-but muh niche literally who linux troony file explorer nobody has ever used or heard of is actually superior!
It just crashed while you were reading this comment.
Yeah nice try, explorer crashes as much as plasmashell.
The difference is that I actually can use the file manager in scenarios of a hardcrash since it's not linked together unlike windows where the entire shell and the file manager is one executable.
Just use OneCommander, it's vastly superior
Native file explorer doesn't even keep your tabs/ history open when you close the file explorer for fricks sake
They're Indian.
sir
India isn't a real country so you have to say what kind of Indian

Nope. Still happens with specific shortcuts for me. Especially in start/taskbar.

you are using the modern-day BOEING equivalent of an operating system.
I'm flying boeing next month and i'm shitting bricks
explain what's bad about it, because it's easily the best the windows file explorer has ever been

show us your thumbnails
I can't, too much porn
The thumbnail joke is dead and just shows that your knowledge about Linux is outdated for at least 15 years.
Black person win11 file explorer is so moronic that at work I have to use a third party one.
It has tabs now. This alone makes it kino.
>file explorer no longer looks like the crying emoji
Did they find out?
They let zoomers touch it.

Yes, if the only Linux file manager you know is nautilus. But dolphin, nemo and thunar. are on far with windows.
pickeru and yazi are pretty good
you can pin that under quick access
Disingenuous falseflag post, please don't do that.
I'll remind you that the Windows 3.1 file manager works in Windows 11 and is available for free on Microsoft's app store
It is actually not that bad conceptually. But the execution is beyond moronic.
It's objectively better than any other file explorer equivalent though.
>B-but muh niche literally who linux troony file explorer nobody has ever used or heard of is actually superior!
It just crashed while you were reading this comment.
Dolphin comes with KDE.
So it isn't niche.

sometimes when I create new folders they don't show up until I refresh the explorer window, I had the same thing on win 10 as well, why is that
skill issue
Windows has a skill issue, indeed.
why are modern uis obsessed with wasting space?
You are autistic. No such thing as "wasted space".
>No such thing as "wasted space".
Terrible bait.
>that one dude in the thread furiously insulting anyone who criticizes Win11
Probably the same guy that goes around calling people baby ducks
>still doesn't open to %userprofile% by default
why is windows so fricking stupid?
>file browser
They took that literally
i had relatively few problems with it
I love it
