KDE Dolphin works on Windows for those who really need Windows. Otherwise I recommend simplified Arch-based distros, but Mint is also good.

Does it? I know KDE used to make a Windows version back in the day, but I didn't know that was still in development.

Lot of KDE apps are also on Windows, most famously Krita (art program that is on par with pqid proprietary offerings), but the KDE suite contains so many bangers like KATE (text editor faster than VSCode, with plugin support).

I knew that the "standard" KDE apps have windows versions, but Dolphin?

Edit: Looks like the newest version of Dolphin for Windows is from the development branch and was made in 2022.
