Really?

I hardly think that's an appropriate comment.

Being able to view a folder in a file manager that has a large number of 
items is about as fundamental as it gets.

Its not a problem on Windows with NVDA.  Its not a problem on Mac with 
VoiceOver.  Its not even a problem on Android with Google TalkBack. Its 
only a problem on Linux with Orca.

SO in that sense - its not "normal" for a modern operating system to 
struggle so much with such a seemingly simple task.

Or are Linux users still expected to make do with a terminal and the ls 
command, because Linux is "different"?
