GNOME Commander 2.0 Released Following Rewrite In Rust & GTK4
Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 22 May 2026 at 08:24 PM EDT. 12 Comments
GNOME Commander, the orthodox file manager for the GNOME desktop that was inspired by Norton Commander, has been rewritten in the Rust programming language and also now using the GTK4 toolkit.
GNOME Commander was in C++ but with this week's GNOME Commander 2.0 release is now largely comprised of Rust code and also transitioning to GTK4 toolkit usage.
GNOME Commander 2.0 also adds an embedded terminal to display output of commands run by GNOME Commander, the quick search functionality was redesigned, improvements to the search dialog, the internal viewer also enhanced, improved accessibility, and enhancing the keyboard shortcuts dialog.
GNOME Commander 2.0 also brings improved Wayland support and other modernization improvements.
Downloads and more details on the GNOME Commander 2.0 file manager release can be found via GitHub.
