Your problem is more fundamental than that.  Your function is trying to
open a "File Explorer", but the whole concept of a File Explorer is a
Windows concept.  The Mac has Finder, but there isn't a standard file
manager app for Linux.  You will have to think about what you are really
trying to do on non-Windows systems.
