3 Features of OS X Mavericks Linux Already Offers

Apple are expected to finally give a release date for OS X Mavericks, the latest update to their desktop operating system at an event today.

As upgrades go, Mavericks look like it’ll be bringing some neat new features to the desktop – including new iBooks and Maps applications, an “App Nap” feature that improves performance, and some much-needed work on multi-monitor support.

But not everything set to arrive is unique. Here are three features that may be new to OS X users, but are pretty old-hat to those of us who use Linux…

Tabbed File Manager
Mavericks furnishes Finder, the default file manager on OS X, with a feature Apple fans have been demanding for many, many years: tabs.

Yes. For an operating system that often describes itself as “the world’s most advanced”, it has only just given users the ability to open several different folders in the same window.

Nautilus, the default file manager in Ubuntu, has supported tabbed browsing since 2008. And, just like the implementation in Mavericks, each tab is able to have its view setting configured independently.
