Surprisingly enough KDE's Dolphin
Nightly Installers on the bottom:
You'll want the bottom x86_64.exe👍
That looks very interesting, gonna try it out in a VM later.
hope it works and is useful to you!🤗
Probably won't be that useful for me, since I use Linux most of the time, but I'm thinking about new Linux users. If they could already start using all the KDE applications on Windows, the learning curve after switching to Linux would be much lower. I've also seen other KDE apps for Windows and macOS before, but had no idea this would also work with Dolphin.
totally fair
IKR?
I just searched Dolphin as a potential recommendation as I knew that Okular works on Windows but I def wasn't expecting it to actually be possible (until yesterday) lol
I think I've even seen Filelight on the Microsoft Store once
Had a great experience with Dolphin on the Steamdeck. It supports tabs which is a great positive over the Windows File Explorer imo. (I know the Windows 11 File Explorer also has tabs but I'd rather not touch Windows 11 with a ten foot pole.)
