Replacing Thunar with Nautilus on Ubuntu + XFCE (Xubuntu)

February 19, 2014

It’s very easy to make Nautilus the default file browser on Ubuntu when you find your way around. Thanks to this post, here is how to do it.

Edit the file ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc and add the line:

FileManager=nautilus

That’s it!
