So you weren't able to come up with the idea of right-clicking without Google?

Right clicking didn't work. The main menu also didn't offer the option.

You need to open a burger menu in the top right corner. And then the new folder button is purely an icon and it doesn't show a folder.

Literally the first item in the context menu is "New Folder Shift+Ctrl+N"

It isn't for me :( So then I guess this isn't a usability issue, but rather a problem with unreliable setup.

That should be Nautilus already and you should have the "create new folder" context menu on right click. I also can't imagine anything going wrong during setup that leaves you in that state.

One thing with Nautilus is that if there is no empty space to right click on, you can't get to the context menu, because you always end up in the context menu of one of the icons. There is no dead space between them to click on. In this case you can click the breadcrumb to get the context menu or use the icon in the overflow.
