- 25Linux is just the OS kernel. I suppose you mean your desktop environment or your file manager here. That's probably going to be different on Android, ChromeOS, Linux (or non-Linux) bases OSes running KDE, Gnome, XFCE... or other)Stéphane Chazelas– Stéphane Chazelas2014-08-07 16:07:16 +00:00Commented Aug 7, 2014 at 16:07

- Then clarify the OS and Desktop environment and application. Like nautilus in Ubuntu 12.04 with "unity" desktop.Stéphane Chazelas– Stéphane Chazelas2014-08-07 16:10:38 +00:00Commented Aug 7, 2014 at 16:10
- (1) I am under Ubuntu 12.04. Is my desktop Gnome or "Unity"? (2) I used to use Nautilus a lot, but now I change to terminal. Is it true that in terminal, we always have to explicitly specify which application to open a file? Does the settings of which application to open a file of a certain format by default belong to the file manager (e.g. Nautilus), and it is not an issue when we are living in terminals?Tim– Tim2014-08-07 16:13:54 +00:00Commented Aug 7, 2014 at 16:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
