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.

care to elaborate why? aka give some details on the advantages of superfile? for how long did you use nnn?
It had some functionalities that nnn did not have like displaying processes or favourite directories and such. In the end I got back to nnn because I read that superfile had internet access plus the fact that I use a graphical file manager for things that nnn or many terminal file managers can not do with extensive plugins.
Uhm both displaying copy/move process and having shortcuts for "favourite" dirs is quite possible with nnn. Although for the later I mostly use -S argument for persistent session.
The only drawback of nnn in my book is the kind of weird/cumbersome way to configure it eith ENV variables. And the non-existent preview image display under wayland.
Yeah, having to customize with env variables is not great, and adding bookmarks is much easier in superfile. Anyway I suposse one does not set bookmarks to often. Plus nnn was so fast I just tapped they keys to get to the directory I needed easily. Once I learned most shortcuts I was flying trough operarions.
Commenting so I can grab this later
Linux user. Installs fancy gui. Uses terminal for file management.
/Use your own meme format.
Why is it making network connections when I run it?
the hero we need
Good to know. How do you test if a program makes network connections? Do you just open Wireshark and look at outgoing traffic?
Those who don’t know Norton Commander are condemned to reinvent it.
Or DOS Shell.
This is much prettier, though.
How does it look like in a proper 80x25?
Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.
awesome
Feels like dired and mc, but way more stylized and cool.
Yes. I do like that.
It looks like midnight commander with some upgrades
I love mc for its sftp/ssh capabilities. It makes it so much easier to do remote admin/support.
Every time I install Windows the first thing I download is total commander. I can't function without it.
