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.

I will be off topic as what I am going to suggest is not open source… But I myself looked for a long time what was the best free windows file manager and I settled up on FreeCommander.
By default UI is not nice but it’s possible to make it nice enough.

I use this one mainly because : you can use it for free, dual pan, it remembers tab history between sessions, tabs can be renamed and colored. Hope someone will suggest a good open source one but I don’t think there is any :-/

Double Commander is free and open source. I’ve been using it for a long time. I’m not sure which one I used before, but could very well have been FreeCommander.
