This is another weird solution. It may be correct but there is absolutely no evidence or hints that this is the way to solve it. A feature in Nautilus as simple as starring a file or folder so that it can show up in the Starred entry in the sidebar should be as easy as bookmarking a location, or renaming a file. The option should be on the list after right click, without a hidden and obscure trail to enable it. Now, the need to go to Settings, then Search, then "gear", then Other, then... is a complete nonsense. I've been using Ubuntu and other Linux distros since 1998 (eventually) and 2005 (continuously) and it seems that the developers' community does all efforts to make things difficult. Come on! A feature in an application must be set/unset in the application settings/properties. A new feature should be ON by default, or at least asked during installation. Imagine you buying a car with a new feature, say ABS... the salesperson says "This car has ABS" and nothing else, and you leave happily driving, and your ABS does not work, just to realize after exhaustive search that you must take the car to Grease Monkeys to enable the feature. ABSolutely nonsense! You keep the secrets on an almost unreachable oracle as if you don't want this marvelous OS to grow and become popular. YOU make it difficult. YOU want to keep it restricted to a small community. Laypeople have enormous difficulties to handle things like that. I am not a layperson.

As I understand, I should be able to right-click a file/folder and select star. That option is not available though 'Starred' is now a location in places. This option is missing under both Wayland and X.
