    At some point Linux desktops bought into that whole ‘less is more’ religion that plagues Windows, and started to hide crucial things like file paths in the name of esthetics and to not confront the poor simple users with the ugliness of the Unix file system tree. This is the result.

      I haven’t run into any file managers that hide the path with no option to show it. Which one(s) are you talking about?

    That looks like Ubuntu, which I believe uses a modified version of Nautilus for the file manager. Hitting CTRL-L (for “location”) should give you a path bar to type into.

    Its so annoying tbh. Ctrl+L works. But not in everything like Firefox. Why can’t we have a better file explorer! I’m honestly wayyy faster with windows file explorer because the filepath is always there.
