For some reason, this is still included by default in many distributions.
It’s an awful, awful program. Its UI is such shit that I’ve still got habits to double-check where my cursor actually is before interacting. Fuck you, PCManFM. Fuck. You.

https://apps.kde.org/konqueror/
A web browser and file manager for KDE.
The KHTML rendering engine was made for it. Safari also uses that engine. It’s nice, but .. could be better. Has insane and not-customizable accesskeys.

Linux audio ripping and encoding for notes on using Konqueror.

This program is no longer maintained, but it’s the only worthy (slim and sensible) X file manager I could find.
thunar might be a challenger, except that sfm lets me very quickly use an alternate app.

Note that there are a couple of file managers named “SFM” or “Simple File Manager”.

A console file manager of some sort.
Tried twice. Both times 2005-06-19 or earlier. No version was recorded, and no notes were taken, aside from “it’s not intuitive”.

A nice and simple file manager which has two tabs.
Definitely a decent alternative.

Photos, media and files on your device optional, kinda.
