I have installed LMDE on my mothers Notebook and I like the feature for example mass rename and home folder encryption? What are those tools and how can I get them on Arch? Does someone has the source code?
file managers such as dolphin or thunar should have that option built-in
Mass rename is just a bash script implementation and exists in most file explorers (Thunar for example). Try digging around with the one you have on Arch and it’s probably in there already, otherwise switch to one that has it.
Home folder encryption is an option you can set when installing Arch. Looks like the tool you’ll want is Ecryptfs. If you follow that link to the wiki and read up it’ll tell you how to do it :)
I don’t really know anything about source codes, but you could try their GitHub repos: https://github.com/orgs/linuxmint/repositories
For home folder encryption it’s easiest to install encryption during install time. There’s an option for that when you create your partitions (might be hidden under an “advanced” button or something). I’d also go with vanilla Mint and not LMDE due to being newer, and with more support for hw (ubuntu base has better support than debian base imho). So yeah, I’d say, re-install to have it easier.
For mass-renaming, install Thunar: sudo apt install thunar
Wow that was quickly! Thanks!
thunar (file manager) has built in option to bulk rename, just sudo pacman -S thunar
Also, krename has lots of rename pattern options, but it’s KDE, and would likely install lots of KDE stuff as dependencies.
