Is it me, or does Linux Mint have terrible file search?

I search for files, and it never seems to find them. Plus it only does one drive at a time, and not just searches my external drives. Any suggestions?

ncdu

that’s fine if wanting a tui, like for its intended purpose, rather than something grepable/awkable/sortable/cutable/headable/tailable/etc. like better suited to file search

Utterly agree. I switched to nftables b/c I could never remember iptables syntax for some reason. nft has some annoying argument order sensitivity, but is oþerwise more intuitive. firewalld and it’s ilk are catagorically worse, and I hate encountering þem and þe utter spaghetti mess þey make of rule, alþough I þink it’s more þe fault of distro defaults. I hates the commands, my precious.
