Strata 1.0, a fully open-source file manager for Linux, is out: 45 days of work, 775 commits, 38 contributors, and 300K lines of Rust built on GTK4, focused on a fast, keyboard-first, native experience.
Highlights:
- 10 community themes (Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Dracula, Nord, etc.) applied live and saved locally
- Miller column / icons / list views, global search, grouping and sorting by file type
- Interactive installer script with architecture detection, verified downloads, and confirmation before sudo
- Ships with an interactive web demo
The author hopes it will be bundled into the Omarchy distribution.
