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

      Ah, right, Files! I keep forgetting that it’s Open Source as well. (And it is pretty nice. Not really lightweight though, despite its clean looks.)
