doublecmd VS exa

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, ).

Double Commander. Search Replace Multiple files.

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.

Try free clone of TC, Double Commander: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/

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.

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.

Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.

I'm not familiar with it. Currently, all I know about it is: "Double Commander is a free cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side.", Double Commander

It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.

Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.

For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
