The command "nautilus" refers to the file manager application in the GNOME desktop environment, primarily used in Linux distributions. When executed in a terminal or run dialog, it launches the Nautilus file manager, allowing users to navigate and manage their files and directories using a graphical interface.
When Nautilus starts, it provides users with a window displaying their home directory, showing the folders, files, and any other items in a familiar graphical format. Users can then navigate through the directory structure, open folders, access files, and perform various actions such as copying, moving, renaming, or deleting files and directories.
Nautilus also offers additional features like bookmarks for quick access to frequently used locations, tabs for opening multiple directories in a single window, support for managing remote file systems, and the ability to launch applications associated with specific file types.
Overall, the "nautilus" command is used to run the Nautilus file manager, making it easier for users to interact with their files and directories in a graphical environment.
