    And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

    Still not there and seems very hard yet, today I was just trying to compare two folders from external HDD using something

    1. Can't find a decent folder comparator on Linux
    2. I found a kinda of one but I can't find external HDD on it cause some mount bs in Linux

    Such a simple task in windows, Linux is hardly better for regular use.

    Edit: so 4 replies one of them is about using commands prompt ( hardly useful for new users) , one says its windows fault, one of them.might be answer and one of them is related to driver issue for drive. And at time of edit i am -4 on votes. So much for linux Community and help.

    Why a simple person won't consider windows ? Now I await more minuses I think.

    What's a folder comparator? Showing the difference between two directories can be done with diff -qr dir1 dir2 or with a gui with mold (one Google search away my dude). If installed via flatpak you may need to give it permission to your files (flatseal is nice for that)

    I've found meld to be a good graphical tool to do this sort of thing. Should be in the repos.

    Would be nice if it could be launched by file managers though.

    If you're on GNOME the drive will show up in the "Other Locations" option in files or it might show up on the side. If its not probably a driver issue, though I've never had such an issue when using sane distro choices like Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian

    You need drivers for your external USB most likely. Unfortunately, a lot of brands only support microsoft's malware of a OS and use unnecessary proprietary firmware...
