1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    A quick overview of all the drives and mounted drives? That is in the left panel for me, with device sizes. Right click to copy or move? We have that too.

    Mount a drive? That one is interesting because of the underlying os. You can open a local network share, right click and add it to the left panel. It will then be available anytime you want to work with it. You can also add foreign shares, such as SFTP which I do not think windows can do.

    This one though: showing disk size and usage which you CAN do in Dolphin, I do not think is part of windows natively. What settings do you do to show those?

    For showing disk size+usage, you can just go to the โ€œMy Computerโ€ tab. It even shows size and usage for networked drives that support it. The rest of your criticisms are pretty valid though.

    I forgot that I would have to look in the columns for disk space, or that I would have to click on it. In dolphin the disk space is shown on the left panel without needing to click on anything. That is why I was confused.

    Not Right click to copy or move. Right-click-drag-and-drop. In windows, when you left-click on a file and drag-and-drop, the default action applys, which is move if it's to the same drive. Or copy if it's to a different drive. Right-click-drag-and-drop gives you the option to copy, move or extract to the drop location.

    You can open a local network share, right click and add it to the left panel. It will then be available anytime you want to work with it.

    Will it be available after a reboot? Because I haven't been able to do that without adding it to fstab or using extra software, like gigolo.

    Showing disk size and usage is very native in windows. Can you get something simular with Dolphin?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

    Yes it will be there after a reboot.

    Ah I forgot about that disk size which you have to click to find (which is no longer showing on home in my windows 11 by the way).

    I thought you meant can you see disk size by doing... Nothing? It is always in my panel on the left.
