probably a long shot but are there any lightweight alternatives to windows file explorer for 2024?
i’m stuck on windows for now until the time comes to grab a new laptop. so sick of the default one in windows 11 though.
There’s a few of them, the open source options include Double Commander, Files, Explorer++, Spacedrive (links files from multiple devices into one explorer), and Sigma File Manager. QTTabBar is an extension for the windows file manager which provides tabbed browsing as well. Here’s a list covering these and many others with links to official websites for each one: https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/?p=2
I think I’ve heard that Dolphin of KDE Plasma does work on Windows. I didn’t know this, I don’t think it’s true, I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard it.
Are there any that integrate FTP support, such as Nautilus does on Linux?
Looks like trolCommander, muCommander, and WinSCP all have FTP support on Windows.
