    Comments about Double Commander as an Alternative to Total Commander
    Comment summary: Double Commander is praised as a cross-platform, open-source tool with similar functionality to Total Commander. Users appreciate its versatility on multiple OS, compatibility with Total Commander plugins, and being completely free. Some note minor flaws like slower development and lack of polish compared to Total Commander. Users value its cross-platform availability, especially for Linux, and its usability with long file names, a feature Total Commander struggles with.

    It looks very similar and can do almost everything that Total Commander can - but it's cross-platform!

    A completely free, multi-platform tool is available that serves as an excellent alternative to Total Commander. It offers high customization, including the ability to use plugins (*.wlx, *.wlc, etc.). However, when utilized in Windows, adjustments are needed for a Windows-like experience. In addition, I also use FreeCommander on Windows, which is less customizable but more user-friendly than the previous tool. It also supports Total Commander plugins.

    Its not totally free, but a very good alternative to Total Commander as well as Windows File Explorer. It has almost all the features of TC including the plugins support. Alongside of FC, I am also using Double Commander, which requires more customization than Free Commander in order to make it friendly in Windows. However Double commander is totally free.
