    A few versions of Linux Mint ago, there was a program called "fslint" that would identify redundant files, empty folders, filename errors, allow you to delete files, etc. After about Linux Mint 20.x, fslint was no longer available. I stumbled across a similar program called "czkawka" which has similar capabilities. I use it often, after accidentally merging two separate backup drives onto one 4 TB SSD. Some of the files are present 15 to 30 times and so are the folders.
    "czkawka" is available from the Synaptic Package Manager. For LMDE-7, you need to install Synaptic Package Manager using "Software Manager"

    My smartphone is an Android, I would like to have a pinephone running Linux, but I think it is not enough powerfull. I'm waiting for the next models that will be made.

    My computer is a 5950X, 16 cores, with 64GB memory, and a RTX 3070 graphic card. I need a powerfull computer in order to make some AI experiments.

    I'am using Linux, Debian 12, with Mate desktop environnement. I choosed Mate because I find it more ergonomic, it have a non-big memory footprint, and I managed to modify its source code in order to add some features.

    I run this Linux without SSD nor HDD, only in 64 GB ram. I boot from a USB drive, with the kernel parameter "toram" that makes Linux run entirely into ram. Once booted, I remove the USB drive before using the computer.

    So, if my system is hacked from internet during the day, the next time I will boot, it will be a non-hacked system. I wrote a shell script to update packages on the USB drive, so I can keep my system up to date.

    Some of us have joked that MS's name came from their vital parts: micro and soft.
