ThunarLinux vs Windows File ExplorerWindows

Thunar como alternativa Linux ao Windows File Explorer

Atualizado em 27 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Thunar is a good replacement for Windows File Explorer if you're using Xfce or prefer a lightweight, fast file manager. It handles basic file operations reliably—browse, copy, move, rename, delete—and supports drag-and-drop and keyboard navigation. While it lacks some advanced features like integrated full-text search or cloud sync, its simplicity and low resource use make it ideal for older hardware or minimal setups. Users coming from Windows will find the core workflow familiar, though some polish and conveniences are missing.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Windows File Explorer

Thunar opens and manages the same file types as Windows File Explorer—documents, archives, media, and system files—without issue. It reads NTFS, FAT, and exFAT drives commonly used on Windows systems. You can extract and create ZIP and other archives directly. However, Thunar doesn't natively handle .lnk files or Windows shortcuts, but this rarely affects usability. File permissions on Linux differ from Windows ACLs, but basic read/write operations translate cleanly.

Trocando o Windows File Explorer pelo Thunar, passo a passo

Install Thunar using your distro's package manager (e.g., sudo apt install thunar)
Connect and mount external drives; they auto-appear in the sidebar
Use the 'Edit' menu to enable dual-pane view via the 'Thunar Dual Pane' plugin if desired
Install thunar-archive-plugin for built-in archive support
