Nemo is the official file manager of the Cinnamon desktop environment, forked from GNOME Files (Nautilus 3.4). It also manages the Cinnamon desktop and supports extensions called Actions.

Use cases

  • browse and manage files on Linux
  • manage desktop icons in Cinnamon
  • connect to remote servers via SSH or FTP from a file manager
  • open a terminal or root shell from a file browser
  • customize the file manager with extensions

When to choose

  • you use the Cinnamon desktop or Linux Mint
  • you want a feature-rich GTK file manager with compact view and desktop icons
  • you need built-in SSH, FTP, and MTP support

When to avoid

  • you use a non-GTK desktop like KDE or a tiling window manager
  • you need a headless or CLI-only file management tool
