1832 files? What a pittance. Absolutely nothing.
Gaze, and tremble!

n-now that's... really BIG

Zip it and send that shit

>>110055
how many duplicates have you got in there, mister? (´ー`)

>>110055
you clearly only have about a quarter of the images the other guy has though
all this shows is that you're bad at file size optimization

Lol.

>C:
Dude, why do you keep it on C:, don't you have other disks? This shit's why your computer is so slow

>>110060
it's not a problem that gen 4/5 ssds can't solve.

>>110042
weak hard drive maybe? my cute and funny folder alone has 10 times (give or take) that amount and it never freezes

>>110072
>weak hard drive maybe?
thunar is my file manager, teh slowness/freezing happens when i try to maek a search while inside the main pic folder.

>>110073
i just installed and tried it and it does freeze for a couple seconds before searching

>>110075
>it does freeze for a couple seconds before searching
tiem for me 2 get a new file manager then, i didn't know thunar likes to freeze so much... sadly he's freezing to death (;´Д`)

>>110079
i use dolphin, try that if you want

If your file browser is cratering after that few files in a directory, you need a new file browser.

that's not how it works, that's some obaasan-ass logic
that machine is also pretty fast if I'm honest

that machine does also has like 5 disks (mostly full of anime and backups from other machines)

pcmanfm might do better on Linux, if not much better
but also try nnn (terminal file manager, supports the mouse and has desktop integration) to navigate big ass folders, it is crazy fast, even on slow machines like a raspberry pi with a USB HDD

>That's not how it works
Huh? Of course you're gonna have problem running your machine if you shit up too much space on teh disk C:

>>110156

it's not 2006, you aren't using slow spinning hard drives and dealing with heavy disk fragmentation from having a bunch of small files on your small hard drive where 26GB is a significant chunk of space

the big way a modern SSD would slow down/have issues is if you have very little free space on it (like, less than 10% left), since it can't really do wear leveling properly
and 26GB is basically nothing on a 1TB disk, that's like two or three anime seasons

>>110171
>if you have very little free space on it (like, less than 10% left)
That's what I was talking about, because surely you have more folders like that 26GB one on C:, but your not supposed to put shit like that on your system disk You can fill other disks to the brim, but system disk should only have the most essential and basic things like Windows folder, PrefLogs, Program Files, etc. And not any image folders or, god forbid, video games. You never instal video games on C:

>>110183
you sound like an automaton repeating something you barely understand
performance and lifespan aren't unduly impacted until you've basically filled up the drive to the brim
and even at that point, performance isn't affected that much (lifespan is though! with less than 10% space, the disk you use for swap has issues with wear leveling since it is constantly being written to -- in that case though,you could probably move swap to a $30 SSD and massively cut down on writes and pretty much never have the issue again; the swap file will be the number one reason your boot drive fails)

if you think I'm having issues like the OP, I am not
they're on Linux, and pretty much none of the major Linux file managers are as fast as Explorer is when dealing with a large number of files since the majority of them try to prepare the full list of files at once, while Explorer will immediately start showing results before it knows how many files are present

either way,
