locate is a command I’ve used in the past, but now, fresh installed with sudo apt get locate it doesn return anything.
locate --version returns
locate (GNU findutils) 4.10.0, from 2024
or, have I forgotten something?

Seems like a good and useful workflow for sure. Don’t know if something equivalent exists, maybe it doesn’t.
I’d personally use
findfor this, but it is a command line tool, and while I have memorized some of the more common options (directories-only would be-type dfor example), I’d have to look at the manpage for more advances options. It’s not hard exactly but it’s not easy-to-use GUI software for sure.I’ve taken to using chatgpt to make me the more advanced find queries, before on linux I would ONLY use
find /path | grep -i somenamesSo that’s already an improvement, if still a bit tediousThe thing about everything is that it’s so ergonomic, fast and powerful.
Being able to search anything and sort everywhich way with the click of a button
Check out this sublime search syntax (this not even half of it ! )
And the re-ordering by columns, and there are just SO MANY columns you can add, like search by EXIF camera exposure, no problem !
I really wish there was something as good as “everything” on linux, it’s just awesome.
Oh that’s pretty cool! I does seem like a shame to not have something like that on Linux.
Maybe it could run on something like wine ? But if there’s not something like… whatever it is that thing that makes WizTree faster than WinDirStat, then it would probably work in a very slow compatibility mode
Maybe? It’ll almost certainly be worse (or not work at all maybe) than on Windows.
