    I was searching for this a few days ago and was stunned that you aren’t able to just create an empty file in the gnome file manager.

    In the terminal you can use touch file.txt to create an empty file, but it should be possible to do this in the file manager.

      Oh i know i can painstakingly navigate to the correct folder with ls and cd, then google what that one command I never use is and then use man to stop the whole process and read how to use it.

      It’s nice to have that option for those who want to have fun with it, but it is a joke this is the intended option in gnome of all places.

        That’s because they want to be user friendly for non tech people 🤦🏻

            Absolutely nothing! I was sarcastic, in fact I agree with you.

              Sorry, my faith in techkind was low as I had someone legit claim im bad with computers for installing linux as all the windows stuff can be disabled with a single tick in control panel. Furthermore only tech distant people use regedit or cti.
