This program is no longer maintained, but it’s the only worthy (slim and sensible) X file manager I could find.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”.

Termin8 logo

Software >

was www.terminate.com

A modem/BBS terminal program.

One of the top contenders. It is truly frightening, and still very useful today. However, they missed out on some basic functionality and got too complex. Telix and Telemate are two other contenders. Telix, well I don’t know why.. I still use Telemate to this day.. it kicks the pants out of terminate for most of the major simplicity and functionality. Too bad none of them are in development anymore. Hrmph.

  • Competed with Telemate as a category-killer.
  • Abandoned – Between 2021-09-22 and 2021-11-14 the domain expired.
