In reply to Jon doe. Did you reset your active desktop session to Xfce from the logon screen? If you didn't you'll just get the previous desktop.

In reply to Ravi Saive. Here is another typo error:

$ sudo apt install xfce4 xfc4-goodies -y

instead of xfce4-goodies.

In Nautilus, if you press ctrl-D, the directory on the right pane is added on the left side as a bookmark. How do you do this in XFCE File Manager?

I followed the instructions and restarted and my desktop looks exactly the same. If for some reason it won’t work on my system, how do you get this off? For that matter, with Linux how do you know what is even on your system from following guides like this off the internet? Linux is so user unfriendly
