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.

They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.
It's absolutely insanity that this feature was removed. I stopped using Nautilus because of this.
Agree. I can understand GNOME not supporting infinite settings and customization, but since when are Linux users noobs?
People using GNOME either never edited a Desktop entry, entered a manual path or did anything poweruser related, or they use 3rd party apps or do everything in the terminal.
I dont get how a Linux Desktop can have so little support for anything.
Needing extensions to restore basic features is not good UX. Like a clipboard manager, blurry shell, appindicators? Why?
The only reason I use gnome is because the window dragging has a weird flicker with KDE and nvidia cards. In gnome it's way smoother. That and the pressing the super button for the fancy window animation, that one is really nice. I could live without the fancy animation (or with whatever KDE replacement that I'm sure it's good enough) if the driver issue wasn't a thing, though.
Yes KDE has something similar and you can remap it with a command. TheLinuxExperiment had this for krunner once, its probably possible.
GNOME is really nice in what it does. Simply that it doesnt do enough for me. There are cool extensions and I feel the community is just way bigger. The animations, dash to panel, blur my shell, make it very cool.
Just the lack of so much like powerful apps is a nogo
