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.

It's really annoying navigating a filesystem in the shell.
Either you remember exactly where a file is located, have a reference, or you're going to be doing a lot of "ls, cd, ls, cd".
That's not necessarily true. There are programs/plugins like
scdinzshellwhich make your life easier. https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/master/plugins/scd/README.mdYou do know tools like find and locate are a thing? If anything it is the graphical tools that do not have a lot of flexibility here.

There's always someone like you, lol.
Glad I've learned to just cut you out and move on.
Have a nice day!
