I've tried to install nautilus-actions using this guide after a few others:

https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/01/install-nautilus-actions-ubuntu-18-04/

At step 2 it says:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package filemanager-actions-nautilus-extension

Any advice appreciated, I'm willing to try another file manager too. Thanks!

For Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the correct package name is filemanager-actions. Install it with:

sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions

Nautilus support is contained in second package named nautilus-extension-fma. You can install it with:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-extension-fma

    filemanager-actions is removed in 20.10 and above. See my answer at: https://askubuntu.com/a/1274782/855322 – FedKad Jan 24 '21 at 19:24
  • @FedonKadifeli Thanks. You may already know my position then. With the progressive illness of Nautilus I would recommend to drop GNOME sHell and install MATE with Caja-Actions to get fully-featured and customized system for real productive daily work. – N0rbert Jan 24 '21 at 19:29
  • I have written an implementation of FMA that works for 21.10 +Nautilus. It retains most of the same semantics of the original but is much lighter. It isn't available as a .deb yet, but here is the Github repos - Nautilus actions has now been archived by the GNOME maintainers and does not work in 22.10+.

    A nascent alternative can be found here.
