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.

I have an extra button on my mouse that double clicks on press.
So I am extremely used to single clicking to see the extra info at the bottom. Aiming or dragging is extra work for me.
Ah okay, I can see that being useful. Seems we have a different workflow. I rarely look at that extra info at the bottom. Usually just to see how many files I selected and their total size. If I'm concerned with single files, I either don't care for the size and extra info, or I switch to the list view and have it displayed next to each file if I'm organizing stuff. I'll also sort them by size or whatever in that case. But I'm not concerned with the exact file info while doing regular stuff. So I wouldn't use that use-case for a single-click very often.
