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,[2][better source needed] reaching version 1.1.2 in November 2012.[3] It started as a fork of the GNOME file manager Nautilus v3.4[4][5][6][better source needed] after the developers of the operating system Linux Mint considered that "Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe".[7][8][9] Developer Gwendal Le Bihan named the project "nemo" after Jules Verne's famous character Captain Nemo, who is the captain of the Nautilus.[9]

Features

Nemo v1.0.0 had the following features as described by the developers:[9]

  • Uses GVfs and GIO
