File System Icon in Devices

Post by Henk »

HI guys.

Pretty new here. Just a question. My File Manager shows a "File System" Icon in the Devices list. Is this just how it is or is there a way to remove that. Usually I only see plugged in devices in this tab.

It's normal, clicking on it takes you to /.

Just started?

If you have a "computer" icon on the desktop, disable it menu > preferences > desktop. It doesn't behave like "my computer" or whatever win call it these days. To me it serves no useful purpose. Your equivalent to "my computer" in mint is your file manager (the home icon), everything you need to do with files you can do with it.
