Speaking of Linux files, there's one feature I'd like to see in the GUI.<p>In Linux, when you drag a file to a folder and hover, you've got one option: drop it into that folder. Another OS I used would wait for a second, then 'open' that folder so that you could drop your file into a sub-directory ... or drill down further by hovering over another. I wish!<p>Old habits die hard. Maybe that can already be done, or there's an app or setting I've missed. If so, GREAT, I could quit mumbling every time.
Dot files are one thing about Linux that seems to be truly timeless.<p>We might not see them directly anymore, we have GUI settings tools, but I can't think of any better way to manage local app settings.<p>Any kind of registry model seems to always require you to learn even more stuff than just some dotfiles.<p>Normally old UNIX stuff doesn't really fit the modern way of doing things, but dotfiles are still standing.
One problem that I have experienced recently with GitHub is that it hides these sorts of hidden files. This means that you cannot properly review the repository before checking it out. Or am I missing some hidden feature equivalent to ‘ls -a’?
