What beautiful Linux apps deserve more "marketing attention" for lack of a better term?
Thunar a blazingly-fast file manager with image & video previews, as well as plugins. Source: almost 2 years ago
How do you get nautilus to show the thumbnails? I'm on a chromebook using crostini. Debian bullseye (i'm sorry if that's irrelevant i am a linux noob)
I switched to Thunar because of this issue. It has very fast preview image loading, among other benefits. It seems well-integrated into Gnome, even though it is built primarily from the XFCE project. Source: about 2 years ago
Are there alternatives to dolphin?
Thunar xfce filemanager but works well in other DEs like plasma too. Source: over 2 years ago
How to make thunar remember previous session
Not sure how i3wm can help you with that. It would have to be implemented in Thunar itself. I would check Thunar's documentation first. Source: over 2 years ago
