A while ago I complained about Nautilus' lack of shortcut to / and I remember someone said you can just enter / in the address bar. I recently was in a situation where I wanted to select an icon for a panel item on my little Raspberry touchscreen where touch was the only available input method, which used to be easily doable because you just need to navigate some folders. Not this time, because there's no way to go to /usr/share/icons without a button allowing you to drop down to /. I literally had no way to do it without adding a keyboard.
I swear the way Gnome treats its users like idiots is infuriating and the only reason I use it is that a lot of their decisions happen to align with my tastes.
To be clear, this is overkill if you're just a small group of friends. I'd hardly call these groups "communities" so I thought I already excluded these, but evidently not.
