•When requiring a customizable and extensible file browser for specific business needs

Quick start

1Launch Nemo by running the command 'nemo' in the terminal
2Configure Nemo settings by editing the 'nemo.conf' file, located in the '/etc/xdg/nemo/' directory
3Customize the Nemo toolbar by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Edit Toolbar'
4Use the 'nemo --help' command to view available options and switches for advanced usage
5Integrate Nemo with other Cinnamon apps by using the 'dconf-editor' to modify the 'org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications' settings

nemo /path/to/directory --no-desktop

Heads up: Nemo requires the Cinnamon desktop environment to be installed and configured properly, as it is designed specifically for this environment and may not function as expected on other desktop environments
