[ubuntu-studio-users] File Managers in Ubuntu Studio 14.04

[Ralf Mardorf]

Xfe allows you to add bookmarks. I don't need bookmarks, but for other
reasons I tend to use Xfe more often, more often, more often each day.

Rox and Rodent do support bookmarks too, they seem to be good file
managers, used by known Linux coders, but I'm used to a different
work-flow, so IMO Xfe is the better choice for my needs.

JFTR I don't need crappy auto-mount options provided by crap like GVFS,
I even used Thunar without GVFS, however, while I manually mount, you
still could use fstab, even for CD/DVD and USB auto-mount and there are
also tools available like pmount with or without a GUI, so there's no
need to care about complicated udev rules or for HDD killing software as
GVFS.

JFTR part II, Take a look at e.g. Puppy Linux slacko 5.6.

I use *buntu, Debian and most of all Arch Linux, not Puppy, but Puppy
Linux is one of the distros that showed me how to set up my *buntus,
Debian and Arch Linux.

Btw. ROXterm from command line is compatible to xfce4-terminal, but
while you need to edit a file to e.g. disable/enable the bell for
xfce4-terminal, you can change such settings by ROXterm's GUI.

Do you know Sublime Text? Do you use GUI editors that cause issues after
using the GUI as root?

Etc. pp., there's a lot of software that could be used with lightweight,
stable WM's, that anyway provide nice themes and this software often is
more powerful, than the apps provided by bloated DEs, and yes, those
apps are GUI apps too.

I recommend to test a few alternative apps, instead of using the well
known DEs.
