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)
