Have you tried Double Commander or Superfile?

I get the inertia against switching when you have a setup you like, but the idea of going the other direction – if I could get the best file manager in the universe but I have to switch to Windows to use it – I just cannot imagine anything that would make it worth it.

Yeah same, but I’ve used directory opus for the over 20 years now. It’s a file browser, so an every day use application, or well, maybe the word living space is a better word.

Next to that, I’m autistic and I struggle with change. I’m struggling with it so much, I’m still using windows even though Microsoft is working hard to make their OS more resentful every day.

I’m not autistic enough to wanting to stay with windows, I am autistic enough to have issues parting ways with a solid, comfortable and properly working system like directory opus. I also begged them to make a Linux version but their response was that the market wasn’t big enough for that. But hopefully Microsoft will change that soon, as more and more people are switching because of them.

So I will get there, don’t worry. I know there are Linux alternatives, but I’m just struggling with parting ways with something that has been in my system for more than half of my life.
