Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.
SCREENSHOTS:
Xplorer
DESCRIPTION:
Xplorer is a modern, cross-platform file manager built from the ground up to meet contemporary file-browsing needs across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Rather than relying on heavy, traditional desktop frameworks, Xplorer uses a hybrid architecture: a web-based frontend (TypeScript + SCSS/HTML) for UI, combined with a backend implemented in Rust to handle file operations, which keeps the application lightweight, memory-efficient, and faster to start. It supports multiple tabs, allowing users to open and manage many directories simultaneously. A key strength is built-in file preview: beyond just listing files, Xplorer lets you preview many file types directly (images, text files with syntax highlighting, and even video preview for supported formats), saving the extra step of opening external viewers. The design emphasizes customization: users can choose themes, customize layouts (grid or detail view), pin favorites in a sidebar, and tailor the experience to their workflow.
Features
- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux) through a Tauri-based wrapper
- Multiple tab support for managing several directories at once
- Built-in file preview (images, text with syntax-highlighting, supported video playback) without needing external apps
- Customizable UI: themes, layout modes (grid or detail view), resizable sidebar, and pinned “favorites” panel
- Lightweight architecture with a Rust backend for file operations and a web-based frontend for UI — leading to smaller installer size, lower memory usage, and faster startup compared to Electron-based tools
- Open-source under Apache 2.0, allowing users to inspect, modify, contribute, or extend functionality as desired
