I changed it like this:
\marginnote{A directory is a division of space in a file system used to organize files. A folder is the name given to a directory in a Graphical User Interface (\acronym{GUI}) environment.}

Title:
  Incorrect description in #352 (What is a folder?)

Status in Ubuntu Manual:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On message #352 ( https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/raring/+pots/ubuntu-manual/el/352/+translate ), there is the following description part:
  "A directory is a division of space in a file system used to organize files. A folder is the name given to a directory in a Graphical User Interface (\acronym{GUI}) environment like the \application{Files} file manager"

  This is double faulted. At first, a file manager is not a GUI, so instead of the 'Files' file manager, the description should say Unity or Gnome that are GUI's.
  But then again the description would not be correct, since there is no need for a GUI for having folder names. Folders can be created at a CLI as well.

  Solution:→
  I am proposing the following description change (entire message):

  \marginnote{What is a Directory? Or a Folder? A directory is a
  division of space in a file system used to organize files. A folder is
  the name given to a directory by the Operating System.} To navigate
  between folders, use the bookmarks in the left pane of the
  \application{Files} file manager. You can also retrace your steps by
  clicking on the name of a folder in the path bar. Double-clicking on a
  visible folder will cause you to navigate to it.
