In Windows, nothing compares. In Linux, Salamander will work with WINE ok. As usual, WINE has font & theming problems. But it "works".
Linux is used when Microsoft Windows is buggy. My 4 TB SSD laptops generally have two intact working Windows-10 systems, and at least two Linux working systems.
All operating systems are easy & very quickly booting, from the easily created & modified "Menu" presented by Linux's "Grub Customizer". My Linux distros generally include FX Linux, Mint Linux & KDE NEON. These are all based on Ubuntu, so are generally running the very latest, stable Linux kernel available from Ubuntu ("Index of /~kernel-ppa/mainline").
My preferred Linux file managers include Dolphin and Nemo as a second runner. Linux, however needs "PCMAN" and "THUNAR", because none in Linux know what a good file manager can do. "Thunar" alone can do WYSIWYG file renaming in Linux. So ALL files & folders in my Microsoft Windows systems have "Initial Capitals". This cannot be done to any Linux files, since Linux is not designed for humans, only computers.
"Initial Capitals" on files & folders allows it easy to spot crazy programmers' files. If you use Salamander, these crazed folders & files can be easily spotted. In most of my main folders are four "markers", folders & files:
Zz Newest Folder.zzz, Zz Oldest Folder.zzz, Zz Newest File Zzzz, Zz Oldest File Zzzz
The "oldest" is always with a modification date of the year: "9999".
The "newest" always has a modification date of the year: "1601".
With one click of the "date icon" in the Salamander tool bars, these marker files become obvious. These marker files are distinctly different to the other files & folders.
Salamander can hide & show any files & folders to be visible or not, in Linux as well. Shortcuts work ok in both types of operating systems also; not perfectly, but just ok.
