My parents found single-click behavior less confusing. It’s how everything works on their phones and in web browsers.
How are you even supposed to select files and folders in single-click? The tiny little + box that’s very easy to miss?
Big mistake in my opinion. Coming from Windows, it took me only one day to get comfortable with single click and now I don’t want to miss it anymore.
You don’t represent the majority who prefers double click. Stfu and just keep your settings
I reckon they looked at their telemetry and chose the setting most people have which has the side effect of being more familiar to Windows refugees.
I mean, their telemetry is opt in and in most distros you don’t even get asked if you want to help them with it. If anything, most people aren’t even aware that Telemetry exists, if they haven’t looked at the specific section in the settings menu.
I didn’t say it was a large sample size, but it’s all they have to base it on. Of course I could be completely wrong and the telemetry had nothing to do with it. But then, what’s the point of the telemetry?
