Question about Mint

I have installed LMDE on my mothers Notebook and I like the feature for example mass rename and home folder encryption? What are those tools and how can I get them on Arch? Does someone has the source code?

Home folder encryption is accomplished with ecryptfs.

Mint's bulk file renamer is called Bulky

file managers such as dolphin or thunar should have that option built-in

thunar (file manager) has built in option to bulk rename, just sudo pacman -S thunar

For home folder encryption it's easiest to install encryption during install time. There's an option for that when you create your partitions (might be hidden under an "advanced" button or something). I'd also go with vanilla Mint and not LMDE due to being newer, and with more support for hw (ubuntu base has better support than debian base imho). So yeah, I'd say, re-install to have it easier.

For mass-renaming, install Thunar: sudo apt install thunar

Also, krename has lots of rename pattern options, but it's KDE, and would likely install lots of KDE stuff as dependencies.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
