You could just buy the program from the windows store and run it in Windows 10 (it's called Files). Also linux had tabbed file explorers for decades. Glad to see windows finally catch up.
I wish I knew that! I would have stayed with windows 10. Well if I ever need to reformat I’ll switch back.
I’m a long time linux user, but work requires windows or Mac. I’ve tried forever to use Linux for work but there are 2 key pieces of software that do not have a functional alternative on Linux and they don’t run through wine.
I understand your plight. I'm an engineer and I use CAD programs all the time. Very few are available in linux and the ones that are (they are good) are not production level. I'm talking about the FLOSS ones not the close source ones like BricsCAD.
I am seeing a "Files App" by "Yair A", it's €9 for me. Is that the program you are talking about?
Yes that is the program. It should have a link to the github but it should be the same one that Windows 11 uses. I paid for it (I'm so ashamed) and run it in Windows 10 no problem.
Interesting. I am going to try the free version and if with the better UI it also has stuff like better archive support than default explorer, I don't mind too much buying the app to support it honestly. My desktop is usually a huge mess of flying windows.
Files has issues too though. It has the ugly buttons instead of text for the context menu, and it doesn't have any of my context menu apps added to the right click menu for some reason.
Great app though if you're not hype reliant on the context menu like me
