I'm going to try to get Dolphin through security review at my company. QUICK everyone start listing reasons why my company should take on the risk of installing Dolphin.
You don't try company wide.
Prepare a feasibility study on the merits on giving choice to power users without sacrificing security or increasing complexity. A multi departmental working group should be established to review the merits of the new platform, while a control group should also be established to monitor how existing solutions perform.
Once completed a multi stage rollout plan should be compiled by a different multi departmental group to make sure all workflows are covered in the new system.
One million years later: "The study has been inconclusive."
spent almost a decade straight on Win10 LTSC then switched to regular Win11 - I think Microsoft forgot how to make software. Vanilla edition is so bloated it is scary. Considering embracing Ubuntu.
Check out Mint or PopOS! over Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is falling behind in the desktop experience, as well as their insistence of using their proprietary backend for snaps over flatpaks, and overriding tools that you expect to get the flatpaks and causing trouble shooting issues because you are expecting one behavior but getting another (not that hard to work around or translate once you know, but still a hassle.
Also, Mint and PopOS! are just great experiences and were top contenders for my personal desktop (dev, gaming, power user) switch from Win10 -> Linux. I wound up going with Arch/Garuda because it's forcing me to learn far more about Nix than I've learned as a dev. I still might make the switch since Garuda can become unstable occasionally due to the way that the OS is "bleeding edge", and forces me to troubleshoot the causes (I guess this is what I wanted to learn?) instead of doing personal dev, gaming, or desktop entertainment.
Dolphin is the best file manager of all time. Both linux and windows.
Great! Dolphin is also better than macOS Finder. I would replace it with Dolphin as well.
However, Windows Explorer in Windows 11 still excels in one area: it doesn't have a header, and the tabs are displayed on the header, like in Chromium.
It's also annoying that all KDE Dolphin tabs have that red [X] button. Sadly, the KDE developers reject great PRs like this one: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/269
Who even presses those [X] buttons? I always use the Ctrl+W shortcut.

My God, what a read... I love KDE, but holy shit, these guys really need to pull the sticks out of their arses...
I actually like the Windows file explorer. Used to be my favorite, before Dolphin. Nowadays I'd say Dolphin is slightly better overall, but could still use a change inspired by Windows or two. For instance, I really like the drive view on the Windows file explorer's home page.
Really? That’s awesome! Hold on, I need to go install it on my one PC that still runs windows.
There is also Krusader that might be worth looking into.
I think I know this meme template from somewhere, but I cannot quite recall from where. Could you give us a link to the original?
The original webcomic link is dead but here’s the know your meme page
The original is a lot lamer than I thought it would be…
I like Thunar better. There was something really minor about Dolphin I didn't like. Maybe it was the way it handled tags or something, I can't remember anymore.
Oh shit
Hint: :q!
