Hi, I recently switched to Ubuntu but the file manager (Nautilus I think) is not practical at all. I would like to be able to :
1-Edit the column on the left to keep only the “My documents” category
2-To create a shortcut on the desktop to the “My document” folder and also for other files. What would you recommend ?
Thank you

Dolphin is so much better!
If you’re coming from windows, I think kde may be easier to transition to than gnome.
pcmanfm is a good one
Nemo should be enough for your purposes, and probably looks better on GNOME than Dolphin
I use nemo, its the only one with all the functions I need

I have the same complaint and I dont know either. You can add at least 5 favorite/bookmarked folders that show underneath, but thats all I know of.
Welcome to Gnome. “The defaults are good so you don’t need customization” seems to he their montra. Honestly there probably is a way to change the sidebar however you like, but it will he buried in a config file and break between upgrades. Dolphin might be a better fit. KDE seems to go the other way, not great defaults, but you can customize as you want.
Thank you for your answers, I think about using Nemo or Dolphin, are these 2 apps really data privacy friendly ? I know it’s open source but is the source code often checked according to this criterium ? I made some researches to check that but didn’t find a lot of comments stating that it’s data privacy friendly.
