There are so many ways to rename stuff on linux that if instead of connecting the keyboard to the trash can you connected it to the brain you could have found that you can configure any action to any key/combination, I have rename on F2, nothing extremely difficult
Through multiple releases without re-install. Moved from PC to PC to PC. Not ideal, but it works.
Different desktop environments. File management, web surfing, playing movies using dozens audio/video codecs, gaming (also some native Windows ones), electronics / programmable logic design (Xilinx ISE) & more, all on the same system no VM stuff.
And you can't rename a single file?
The default behavior on Windows File Explorer is actually a bad UX decision imo. You click a file and you might accidentally rename the file in the process. Please don't attach too much (hidden) behavior. Sure I got used to it in Windows, but it's surely not the best way to rename files. It should be explicit and if you do it often, you can use the shortcut (that is just F2 usually).
