When you do a fresh install of Linux Mint by default there is only one desktop but you can add multiple desktops to your Linux Mint KDE.
Default file manager of Linux Mint KDE is Dolphin. Dolphin file manager has very advanced preview and thumbnail features such as preview text files but by default previews option is disabled in Dolphin file manager To enable and be able to see the thumbnail and preview of pictures and folders we have to click "Preview" button in the toolbar. As simple as that. To enable the preview for text files as well follow the following simple steps. 1. Click "Control" on the toolbar. 2. Select "Configure Dolphin". 3. Go to "General" section and click on "Preview" tab. 4. Scroll to the end and check "Text Files" and click OK. All done.
