I use dolphin and I like it. Much more customizable than Nautilus. All the file managers I've used do permanent deletion with shift+del, so I see no reason to add it to the toolbar or context menu. Also, built in zip function with right click.
Idk about "open folder with", is it like opening a project folder with a good text editor? For most things I'd still use a terminal anyway. -
Voxera115738yMidnight commander.
Basically a linux port of the old norton commander from windows.
Its text but still as good as ever. -
hugosp08yDouble commander, the awesomness, if u Åre coming from win totalcommander / Norton commander

Tribex678yPersonally I prefer Nautilus (latest GNOME version), and would like to see something of the sort on Windows. Apparently that's an unpopular opinion among Linux users though.
-
@AssadBinTahir @Lucas22 I've tried dolphin before, and it seems a bit heavyweight as well as being Qt-based (I use GNOME) and looks really ugly.

grublle3988yElementary OS has the worst file manager I've seen (no search function!). But there's plenty of good linux file managers and finder is also good.
-
@grublle lol, finder is probably the worst one I've used. Search isn't something I really need in a file manager, they usually do it to poorly that I use another app for it.
-
grublle3988y@TheInitializer It's such a deal breaker for me, it is probably why I use Ubuntu GNOME and no Elementary.
What's the problem with finder? -
Try HiFile file manager. It is multiplatform, light-weight, fast, stylable, dual-pane, keyboard-centric, has lots of features... and it is free for Linux.

Why are there no good file managers for Linux?
Come to think of it, why are there no good file managers that aren't Windows Explorer?
All I want is a good breadcrumb bar (editable), customizability, basic functions such as permanent delete, open folder with, etc, and built in zip reading. Is that too much to ask?
Currently I use the elementary OS one (works a bit better than the default nautilus) but it lacks a ton of basic functionality and there's pretty much no customization.
Please someone make a usable file manager for Linux. Ugh
