@Aaron Kili

Would you please consider reviewing Fileographer, a new file management and note-taking application for macOS and Linux that I just released?

It lets you navigate your hard drive by typing a few letters from the name of the file or folder you want to see.

It’s designed to let you do almost everything with the keyboard, not the mouse.

Details are here: fileographer.com

Thank you for your consideration.

I have found the best file manager to be the default for the OS/desktop you are using. I use Mate, so stick to Caja file manager.

The best one with a panel content just like Windows Explorer, which allows one to view files contents without opening them is DOUBLE COMMANDER (doublecmd): https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/

$ sudo apt-get install doublecmd-gtk
or 
$ sudo apt-get install doublecmd-qt

I would like to suggest also taking a look at Dragonfly Navigator.

@Draonmouth,

Replaced number 16 PCManFM with cfiles – terminal file manager.
