Of course!!! Back in the 90s, under DOS, we had something called Norton Utilities, there was some disk explorer and things like this, and a utility called Norton Commander, nc.exe, the double panel, blue on blue, easy to copy, move, explore zip as folder, etc. I used it a lot in the DOS day.
Then Microsoft Windows 3 came and a guy (iirc a Switzerland guy named Ghisler, I know it because when I want to go it, I go to ghisler.ch) wrote a NC clone in Delphi and named it Windows Commander, with the same double panel and shortcut and all, F5, F6, F7, Ctrl-U, etc. He ported it to W95 then NT then then then and at one time Microsoft told him to rename it, so it became Total Commander.
So I used NC in DOS for maybe 7 or 8 years and I’m using it in Windows for more than 30 years. I almost don’t know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy/move/explore archive etc, After 30 years of using a utility to navigate your HDD and manipulate files, it is a second nature.
PS: yes I have a license since early 2000.
PPS: Double Commander in Linux is almost a 100% clone.


Yes but switching distro you can fuck up some settings… Better to copy documents downloads etc but all the hidden directories I do it selectively


yup, but careful with hidden folder like .config and a few others
I bough a box of 100 Zeiss wipes in walmart, I like them, it’s pretty cheap.
