One of many detractors from Linux in the past from me - whenever I tried any equivalent there, it was very slow, featureless, crashing etc. I hope these days the situation is better.
Whenever I look at any other colleague, who use that primitive File explorer or equivalent, how clunky and slow work it is, its sad that people don't do this one-time effort to transition to the tool which is so vastly better.
Having said that, I think Krusader comes pretty close with the right settings / keyboard shortcuts.
It's what kills the most new attempts at filemanagers, like fman - for some silly reason they try to do it with GUI.
- Midnight Commander
- Total Commander
And
- Double Commander
Are still employing those hotkeys.
Mc is okay-ish, but it lacks the excellent plugins Far had, and a multitude of small life improvements, like directory hotkeys, file selection options, great built-in text/hex file viewer (and previewer!). Mc is what I use all these years after leaving windows, and it's not even close to Far in user experience, unfortunately.

DN (Dos Navigator) is not at all bad on Windows, cannot say on Linux, but it is worth a try.
