I used thunar for a while and it was a great experience with few exceptions, however I will likely remove it in favor of a more command line-based experience. Using thunar was a valuable learning exercise and it helped me understand more about what file browsers actually do, and I realized that I can replicate this experience fairly trivially while giving me the benefits of my existing configuration. |

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)
