Can you recommend some third party windows file managers?

  1. Stock file manager has an okay UI (tabs are super nice) but is kinda slow, especially on battery.

  2. I tried explorer++ but its UI is clunky and it's only slightly faster than the stock file manager.

Well, the file manager I use on Linux, Dolphin, has an experimental Windows version.
When I learned of that a few years ago, I gave it a shot on Windows and I prefered it to File Explorer, but it's not like I compared it to other offerings or anything like that.

I do think that's the best file manager on Linux and most features were working on Windows back then, so it's not unlikely either, that it is by far the best offering for Windows. But it could also be a buggy mess. I wouldn't know...

I've been using Double Commander for years and I love it, but the UI takes some getting used to (and the default settings aren't great).
