If there's two things I install on everthing I touch immediately, they are Ranger and Vim.

@twizzay Makes sense.

@twizzay I'm just getting back into all this so I was curious when I found the article. I prefer simple so I'm going to try what you suggested.
Superfile looks cool but abit overwhelming from that screenshot. I can see how some users would like it though.

@jnv
Ranger was intuitive for me right from the start before I knew anything about Unix. Highly recommend.
That said, Yazi honestly looks pretty cool. I may try it out perhaps.

I do recommend setting this in the rc.conf if you're using a terminal which can render images. btw.
set preview_images true

@jnv I use yazi, which is super fast and can display previews for images, text files, and icons for the file types. Also works on Android in Termux

@cinimodev Yes, @twizzay just suggested Yazi too. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Thanks.

@jnv I prefer Yazi, though superfile is good.

@jnv I use the Gnome version every now and then for drag&drop. It's a really ancient concept but one that's definitely stood the test of time.
