[SOLVED] I run sudo updatedb

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
