probably a long shot but are there any lightweight alternatives to windows file explorer for 2024?

i'm stuck on windows for now until the time comes to grab a new laptop. so sick of the default one in windows 11 though.

Probably won't be that useful for me, since I use Linux most of the time, but I'm thinking about new Linux users. If they could already start using all the KDE applications on Windows, the learning curve after switching to Linux would be much lower. I've also seen other KDE apps for Windows and macOS before, but had no idea this would also work with Dolphin.

totally fair

IKR?
I just searched Dolphin as a potential recommendation as I knew that Okular works on Windows but I def wasn't expecting it to actually be possible (until yesterday) lol
