So the file indexing services that you mentioned, often you have to go out of your way to install these, these would not be part of default file/folder management like pcmanfm?
I see Arch mentioned a lot. I used to be Linux Mint > Debian > tried Slackware > Ubuntu.... Slackware kind of sucked just because it was harder to setup/a lot of things didn't work like video playback. Not blaming it on them. Ubuntu I primarily switched to because they had drivers that Debian would sometimes not have like WiFi. Seems to make sense if more people use Ubuntu.

Baloo comes by default with most KDE installations. Ubuntu used tracker (don't think it does anymore). So it's not that hard to find one of them running.

Anyway thanks.
