I love Thunar, has a ton of features + plugin support and it is very fast when opening, here is a benchmark I did on the launch time:

PCManFM (the old one): 0.15 seconds.

Thunar: 0.36 seconds.

PCManFM-Qt: 0.39 seconds.

Nemo: 0.47 seconds.

Dolphin: 0.78 seconds.

mmmm: 1.73 seconds. (I feel like I don’t even need to say which one this is lol)

I use Xfce daily. I honestly prefer it to others. Never had any issues with it, either.

Your estimates are for sure low.

You will never hear from most people. Of the people that speak up, most will do it via some channel that you will never encounter.

I have been using Thunar for many years by the way, and not just on XFCE. Thank you so much for everything you have done.

I have used Thunar for a long time. You have never heard from me.

Chad gymrat Xfce. GNOME is trash and xfce is proof of that
