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.

Its so annoying tbh. Ctrl+L works. But not in everything like Firefox. Why can't we have a better file explorer! I'm honestly wayyy faster with windows file explorer because the filepath is always there.
Alt+d in Firefox. And pcmanfm for a decent file explorer with the path visible and editable. Simple toggle option in the options.
Omg I never knew about ctrl+L. Life saver. I have no idea why Linux file pickers/file browsers don't seem to have an editable (and copy-pasteable) path field.
I know man its the worst!! So many little things like this are why Linux devs need a real world person on their team, I feel .
Cue the xkcd comic about minerals and how its crazy to think the average person only knows cobalt etc whatever it is lol. Devs need normies to do testing
Dolphin?
Not working on Nemo (cinnamon)
Ctrl L won't work?? Odd. Try alt+D.
I use nemo in cinnamon also
