Yes, but I'm still waiting for mac style column browse mode in nautilus ๐
I'm pretty sure gnome used to have that around 1.0 or something.
I don't recall, but it hasn't had it in over 15 years that's for sure.
They probably didn't like that some users enjoyed using it.
Columns became the dealbreaker when I was considering switching from macOS to Linux. I need my columns.
ElementOS's file browser has them.
Kind of. They look the same, but don't act the same. Folder don't show their contents until you double click them. They act like any other file in that way. One click to select. Double click to open. I like the more basic one click functionality for browsing.

I got my first Mac when the m1 came out. Id never used them before. The file manager columns just doesn't make sense to my brain.
I was a mac head from the early nineties to the mid two thousands. Column mode is the only thing I truly miss.
