Thunar has been designed from the ground up to be fast and easy-to-use. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options. Thunar is fast and responsive with a good start up time and directory load time.
Familiar to those who use the Xfce desktop environment on BSD or Linux, Thunar is well worth trying as a replacement for heavier file managers like Gnome’s Nautilus, particularly on older hardware.
