Videos? Grid. Images? Grid. Both with preview window on the right.
Everything else? List with a preview window docked on the right. For everything other than music, I always soet by the last modified date, unless there's less than 10 files or so per folder, in which case alphabetical is preferred.
Files: always a list. Photos: preferably a grid
Grid for image previews. List for anything text.
Mind map
Really depends on what I'm trying to visualize. Things that are inherently graphical I'd probably put in a grid to fit more on the screen. Text probably a list.
If it has hierarchical organization like files/folders, then miller columns. I wish there was a decent Linux file browser with miller columns; it's one of my favorite things in macos.
If the cover art/thumbnail is helpful for quickly visually scanning, then grid. This is for things like my movies and shows in Kodi.
Everything else should be a list.
List, unless it's photos then grid thumbnails.

I don't like scanning left to right

Isn't this how Japanese works?
Yes, in books and stuff, but often it is horizonal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_and_vertical_writing_in_East_Asian_scripts
That is possibly the most annoying way to read words on a page
Lists with sub-lists
ls -la, strictly.
