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.

Running debian+swaywm and I'm trying to find a file manager that I like.

What I've have tested so far is using another icon theme.

Edit:

Following this thread fixed it for me. I didn't notice any immediate change, but after reboot, the correct icons appeared. I think this mainly had do to with me not having the xdg-user-dirs-gtk package.

have you tried other GTK file managers, like Nemo or Caja? Is the same issue present?

Just tested both Nemo and Caja. Problem still persists
