✨ Nemo(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing Nemo — and specifically nemo-desktop, the little icon of a page from the General Commands Manual section of the man pages, section 1, iykyk 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

nemo-desktop — Nemo's desktop provider 🖥️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nemo-desktop [options] URIs...

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This manual page is here to give you the lowdown (briefly, no essay) on the nemo-desktop command. 💅

Nemo is the file manager for the Cinnamon desktop. Yes, that's the whole vibe. She manages files. She runs Cinnamon's desktop. She's booked and busy. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Nemo-desktop follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). A summary of the options is right here below, bestie, all of them, we don't gatekeep 🫶

• --debug — turns on the debugging code. Example usage, copy it exactly: 'NEMO_DEBUG=Desktop,Actions nemo-desktop --debug'. And if you wanna go feral with it, use NEMO_DEBUG=all for more topics. 👀🔍
• --quit — quit Nemo. bye bestie 💀👋
• --help — shows you a summary of the options. (You're literally reading the long version rn, iconic.)
• --version — shows Nemo's version. ⭐

Other standard GNOME options that aren't listed here are also supported, so if you're looking for something and it's not on this list, it might still just work. no cap. 🌈

👑 NOTE ON THE ROOT USER 👑

Okay so normally, nemo and nemo-desktop treat being run as the root user as special — meaning certain restrictions kick in and the UI changes up on you. This behavior can be bypassed via a gsettings key. 🧚

You can use the following command to enable/disable this override:

gsettings set org.nemo.preferences treat-root-as-normal true|false
