This Post was the final straw for me. Just spent the afternoon setting up Linux Mint Mate and it’s working well so far!

I so much want to, but the programs I run are partly windows only. I don’t know how to switch yet. Next to that, I tried Linux once but was unable to reach netwerk drives from my NAS. I tried everything, none of the solutions I found actually worked. I seem to have a curse running into issues no one else had. Struggling my whole life with that. Today I spent the entire day fixing Kodi, which suddenly stopped working. None of the solutions on internet worked. I managed to fix it my own way, eventually. Just to play a video without losing my “videos watched”.
MS is working hard to force me though. I’m almost as far as to say goodbye to apps I’ve used my whole life. Like Directory Opus for example.

Have you tried some of the dual panel file managers that run on Linux? What Directory Opus has that is not in other FM?

I used total commander when I was young, but I like the folder tree view and the massive amount of options to personalize it to my needs. Also the flawless network drive and ftp compatibility, tabs, it’s own file transfer system and mass file renaming function. Haven’t found something similar yet (but maybe didn’t search well enough). Oh and color options, so my screens are all dark view exactly the way I want it.
