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.

I know a few terminal-based file managers but I don't think those will help solve your problem. I recommend you to somehow port ( I don't see why rofi doesn't work on your debian tho ) rofi onto debian so that you can keep on your workflow.

I'm completely not sure, but did you clone the repository with recursive flag?

It's presumably related to your includePath or something.

P.S. I think I've figured out:

You need to have rofi ^1.6.1 installed on your system.
