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.

The sidepanel in Thunar v4.18.8 is complete rubbish! (lemmy.ml)

No favourites and different heights of the objects. And if I expand airikr in the sidepanel, all folders in that folder will be listed. It's like the developers of Thunar wanted to make Thunar a clone of Windows Explorer or something. I hate it!

This happened few months ago after an update. On the laptop, I have version 4.18.7 and there's the sidepanel completely normal.

How do I fix this piece of garbage? By downgrading? How?

I've been using the default file manager for Linux Mint Cinnamon (as far as I remember it is), Nemo. It's okay, but I do miss Thunar for several reasons.

What I can remember, I tried that when Thunar got updated. No difference. The Shortcuts view doesn't have these different heights, so I am now happy :) Time to finally uninstall Nemo.
