+# thunar
+
+[thunar][thunar] is a GTK file manager.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+thunar can be used to:
+
+- Have a graphical interface for browsing files on a computer
+- Not worry about the cascading effect of nautilus
+- Have thumbnails update instantly, no refresh needed most of the time
+
+You should not use thunar if:
+
+- You want to search in your file browser (nautilus is better for this)
