One of the best commanders for the Linux. I am running linux on the side. The Linux version of this app is pretty great. Not as good as Krusader: but, definitely one of the best. But, on the Mac side, honestly, there are many great choices. Even its close cousins, such as Commander One and Nimble Commander do a lot better than this one.

After trying and purchasing some of the monster file managers, I came to realize that the best are the FREE ones - Double Commander, Commander One, muCommander. Where the money is not involved. I use them all and enjoy using them. And highly recommend them. Thank you for these developers!!!

The most recent version is v1.1.0, created 4/2/23. It is on Sourceforge (find through the link above). This listing has not been updated for a long time. It has over 6,000 downloads this week, and might get more love here if people only knew about it.

For those who may not know, Double Commander is supported by developers who donate their time, and provide versions of DC that run on Windows, macOS, many flavors of Linux, BeOS, OS/2 and many others. I use the Windows and LInux versions daily, and some day, when TotalFinder on the mac will no longer run because of Apple restrictions, I will probably use DC on mac. I don't need all the bells and whistles of PathFinder and Forklift, and both are bloated for what I want, which is a responsive dual pane file manager, period. Since I use many multiple platforms, the consistent UI and UX across all DC versions is a plus. If you are looking for an app that conforms to macOS UI accepted norms, well DC isn't for you, but that is no reason to criticize it, it's an intentional decision, in order to provide multi platform support.
