  • thanks but, I don't want change icons manually and am not a big fan icon themes changing default programs icons. Even if they are "more beautiful" Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 13:49
  • So from my understanding, the fact that lot of file managers have the same icon is an specification/recommendation ? Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 14:14
  • At this point, am not sure what "desktop environment" really means but, does all this mean they expect you, to use/install only one file manager in your linux system? Like if I chose XFCE and have Thuanar pre-installed, they don't expect me to install Nautilus or Dolphin? Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 14:33

    Xfce is one desktop environment (DE). Each DE has one file managers by default: Xfce - Thunar; GNOME - Nautilus; KDE - Dolphin; Cinnamon - Nemo; LXDE/LXQt - PCManFM, etc. User has choice to install one or more file managers, but sometimes that will break user experience (too much to explain here).
