Beyond the unified view, it adds Miller Columns navigation (like macOS Finder), a file preview pane, sidebar customization (hide/show built-in entries like Recents and Starred), and custom storage bar colors. Installation is available via Ubuntu PPA, Fedora COPR, or a universal shell script for other distros including Arch Linux. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
