The case of the jump into the middle of an instruction from nowhere (2023)
Well yeah, I mean no one forces you to use Explorer for file management under Windows. I'm an old-time Norton Commander user, and when Windows came around I switched to Total Commander. There are open-source alternatives too, even cross-platform ones, like this one: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/.
That being said, no one forces you to use Windows either - except maybe your employer or the software you are using, but this is getting less and less of a problem fortunately (web apps, ).

Total Commander
I've been looking for a Linux alternative ever since I mostly switched away from Windows a few years ago, and so far this one is the best FOSS alternative I found: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ - it's even written in Pascal, same as TC.

Modern graphical file explorer
For me, a file manager simply has to work and offer a certain range of functions. That's why I use Double Commander myself. Is this tool modern in the sense that it is visually appealing? Or in the sense that it is created with a programming language that is currently popular? Definitely not.

Windows Explorer EXTREMELY Slow
For backing up files it might be worth using a different file management interface such as Double Commander(free) but is not particularly fast, MultiCommander or My Commander (free) which is supposed to be very fast.

Ask HN: Are people still using Pascal in 2023?
Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.

- There is a great, free (not fake free, but really free) bulk file re-namer utility that everyone should know about. You can re-name hundreds of files in seconds which is good if things are named stupidly or you just like conformity.

What's a user-friendly journaling/note-taking software for linux?
I use QownNotes myself. The notes are saved in Markdown format so that you can easily use them in other programs. An export function to HTML or PDF files is also available, if I'm not mistaken.

A lighter widget based solution that I know of is https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/tree/main/src/libraries/qlitehtml No idea if that can work in QtQuick.

I have a problem trying to find a software-based solution for journaling and keeping notes. It must be minimalistic and have backwards and foward compatibility.
Personally, I use https://www.qownnotes.org. Notes are saved as Markdown files and are therefore easily readable. The rest of your requirements should be met by the tool as well.
