I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.

Or by using gnu style options on potentially bsd tar

I mean, I never do that without downloading the script and reading it. I also read makepkg files. It doesn’t take that much to validate these things

The fsf also thinks it should be a different license apparently, given that gplv3 doesn’t force you to distribute source to users of a server, but agpl does.

Although to be fair it.migjt have more fondo with the concept not being very well tested.

But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough

Yeah, and ide only supported 4 drives at a time in most systems

What? Using uuids is the solution to having to change the file (that, or stable name rules). You can also use labels if you want to.

Stable in the distro context refers to how often packages change. Sid (which is the one that’s broken in that) is not that. The other 2 are stable in that sense, but older software can sometimes be shaky on newer hardware.

It’s something I really wish other file managers had,

This has been the standard behavior for gnome for like around 20 years…
