muffin VS nemo

EDIT 2: This is the second bug I described.

b) issues specific to the cinnamon desktop or nemo file manager that appear to be present upsteam in linux mint also (cinnamon seems less stable in general to me with it needing to be restarted more, there is a known issue with drag-and-drop, etc)

Depending on what features you use, your hardware, and which DE you prefer, you may have relatively few issues. I recommend reading around here and fedora forums but for example, I've had some minor issues with Fedora 38 Cinnamon Spin but mostly just little nitpick stuff (nothing that really impacts my workflow). example: there's a drag-and-drop issue currently open with Nemo file manager that happens on some display setups in very specific scenarios and has some workarounds (technically this was also present in F37 too) and yesterday I had an issue where my mouse cursor went past the right edge of the screen until I rebooted. But all of my apps, VMs, etc work fine. The only change I had to make in my post-setup scripts for F38 was to remove ogmtools, rdfind, and chromium-freeworld from my list of apps to install (apparently for chromium freeworld, things have been resolved upstream so it's no longer even needed to get the same effect so it is being discontinued in favor of the regular chromium package)

I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.

You should open an issue here, I do not see anything like this reported yet: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues

I don't know. Here - the natural place to look - it does not say.

In 5.4.10 it looks like (?) UI scaling has moved into Muffin, which isn't being used with Xmonad (although does give Cinnamon some nice per-screen scaling!), so I can

This is the right answer - it's mentioned in the PR for the mutter rebase: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/pull/601

The issue tracker would be a better place to make feature requests: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues

EDIT 1: I opened a bug report for the third bug I described and I guess I'm just supposed to know that the Trash uses a special filesystem that hangs Nemo if I try to move files out of Trashed subfolders? And this prevents a normal shutdown of Mint? How the fuck am I supposed to know that, and why the fuck is that acceptable to leave in Nemo?

Basically, I would like to be able to have a context (e.g. right-click) menu item that is shown or not based on a return value from a script, similar to this feature in Nemo.. Wondering if it has that feature or not? I haven't been able to find anything on it and was thinking about opening a feature request for it but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something first.

You should probably look here https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues

Currently on Linux Mint. Nemo does not have this feature at the time of writing.

Nemo uses plugins that pull txt from some other formats. You can see them at https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/tree/master/search-helpers

Nemo worked well with GNOME 3, not sure about GNOME 4x. It is based on a very old version of nautilus.
