Nemo (file manager) explained
Nemo is a free and open-source software and official file manager of the Cinnamon desktop environment. It is a fork of GNOME Files (formerly named Nautilus).
History
Nemo version 1.0.0 was released in July 2012 along with version 1.6 of the Cinnamon,[1] reaching version 1.1.2 in November 2012.[2] It started as a fork of the GNOME file manager Nautilus v3.4[3] [4] [5] after the developers of the operating system Linux Mint considered that "Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe".[6] [7] [8] Developer Gwendal Le Bihan named the project "nemo" after Jules Verne's famous character Captain Nemo, who is the captain of the Nautilus.[8]
