I upgraded to 8.1 last night. Glitches:
I'm frustrated about file managers. I am neither a GNOME nor KDE user. My old familiar, TkDesk, the most comfy, useful day-to-day.program I've ever had for Linux, errors out because of missing "libitc.13.3.so" That's okay, I guess. The MIME types were wired in and outdated, and it's not being maintained anymore. One of these days I'll dive in and correct the problems, and update it to GTK.
I tried Nautilus; it's okay if a person doesn't mind having all of GNOME load with it, destroying xphoon and plopping a bunch of useless icons all over. Does anyone know how to fix this?
GMC and gentoo are out - too limited.
Konqueror? No thanks. not GNOME compatible.
Does anyone have any ideas about where to go from here?
You might want to try the ROX Filer, which is fast and provides all of the normal stuff that you could want with a file manager. Just do a Google search for it, although I think you can find it at rox.sourceforge.net. My personal favorite is xftree, which is part of the XFce desktop. It works great, is very fast, and easily configured. Of course, Midnight Commander is just about the best. It is stable, fast, and can be used from the console.
