Finally. Single click to open a file/directory is the first feature that I disable on a fresh system.

I personally much prefer single click but I guess as a default double click is good since it’s like that on most systems

Why though? It should increase the life expectancy of your mice and touchpads because it results in fewer clicks and the mechanical parts thereby don’t wear out so much.

Because no other OS or DE that I use does that and it’s not convenient to jump from one to another. As of the wear, I think it’s marginal. My main file manager is mc anyway.

The number of times I’ve accidentally opened files I didn’t want to with single click is obscene.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
