    Tbf, the file explorer is actually one really good argument for GUIs over terminals. Same with editing text. Its either simple enough to use Nano or I need a proper text editor. I don’t mess around with vim or anything like that that.

    Its all tools. Some things are easier in a file manager, some things are easier in a GUI.

      I think it depends, if I have a simple file structure and know where stuff is, it’s pretty efficient to do operations in the terminal.

      If I have a billion files to go through a file manager might be easier.

      Yeah I prefer fancy text editor too. And my biggest heartbreak was learning that I can’t just sudo kate (there’s a way to use Kate to edit with higher privileges but I never remember how, edit: apparently it’s opensuse specific problem).
