Broot has many features that feel natural... When you know they exist (for example, try looking for what's taking space with `br -w` then stage the files and remove them at the end).

What are some good GUI file browsers with thumbnails that don't have an entire DE as a dependency?
Broot[1] is somewhat similar to ranger and is better at searching for files, but has its own downsides. I thought I'd mention it since I like using it, but someone mentioned Thunar and that's probably a good choice. Source: over 2 years ago
