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?

    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 somenames So that’s already an improvement, if still a bit tedious

    The 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.
