Ubuntu 20.04 here.
I found reports of the file manager data transfer progress information being unreliable dating back 15 years (https://alt.os.linux.ubuntu.narkive.com/RxvTnprS/still-no-progress-bar-when-copying-files-to-flash-drive) and I cannot understand why, for the love of god, this is still the way it is today!
At the very least the user should be presented with progress information when attempting to cleanly eject the USB stick!

In Windows and MacOS the data transfer progress is actually what one expects - a reality-based depiction of the data being transferred - which when it says it's completed, is actually completed.

In Ubuntu (all Linux?) you get this data transfer progress information which is more of a lie than the truth. And this in a PC OS which is supposed to be intuitive for the average PC user ... or else why bother with most of the GUI if to see something as rudimentary as this you have to start executing terminal commands!?
