Debian Celebrates 30 Years

This isn't really a problem with Debian but just "desktop Linux" in general. Lots of little quality of life/usability things that just don't exist or don't work. I'm a pretty happy user of Ubuntu w/gnome but I'm not going to pretend that it's some kind of great desktop system. I just prefer to use it anyway.

There certainly are aspects that could be better, but renaming is not one of them.

The default behavior on Windows File Explorer is actually a bad UX decision imo. You click a file and you might accidentally rename the file in the process. Please don't attach too much (hidden) behavior. Sure I got used to it in Windows, but it's surely not the best way to rename files. It should be explicit and if you do it often, you can use the shortcut (that is just F2 usually).

Get in touch with the Debian folk, they're really good and would likely be happy to offer you a refund.

i think it's like kde for bells and whistles; xforce for tweaking; gnome and cinnamon to get out of your way.
