As someone new to Linux, what would be a few reasons that you prefer this to using the built-in GUI file browser?

I can't believe no one mentioned this, but: remote access.

I spend most of my day connected to machines via SSH and yazi offers a great UX with file previews and all. Using kitty I even get image previews in the terminal.

Well, do you prefer kitty or yazi?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They are two different things. Yazi is a file manager and Kitty is a terminal emulator.

Ok, Dolphin would be the comparative here from KDE Qt but, since is made for GTK probably Nautilus is the one to be compared.
