Hi I just got Atari vcs with pc mode usb that boots into Debian 11 with GUI. I’m trying to play retroarch and I managed to get it installed but I’m very familiar with windows PC and not Debian or Linux.

I need to move downloaded files from my download folder into the retroarch system file but I can’t seem to create new folders or move files between them . Is there any way to do this from the GUI like I can in windows?? Thank you!!
