Install Nemo file manager on Ubuntu 17.04 Systems. Nemo file manager patched for Unity (no Cinnamon dependencies except cinnamon-translations).
One of the most striking feature of Nemo is its ability to “Open as root” and “Open in terminal”. Best of all, it displays an “elevated privileges” banner (see screenshot below) when running as root. It also brings new extensions such as nemo-image-converter, nemo-filename-repairer, nemo-emblems, and old extension got new updates and features.
