					<description><![CDATA[Useful GUI apps for finding duplicate files in Linux include &lt;strong&gt;dupeGuru&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;FSlint&lt;/strong&gt; - among others. &lt;strong&gt;FSLint&lt;/strong&gt; is now depreciated due to dependence on Python 2, but still works well to find and remove duplicate files as long as the now no longer supported Python 2 is installed. 

To add FSlint to Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Mint Cinnamon 20:

Download or move into the Home &#062; Downloads folder these three files:
&lt;pre&gt;
$ wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb  
$ wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
$ wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fslint/fslint_2.46-1_all.deb 
&lt;/pre&gt;
In the Terminal App run:
&lt;pre&gt;
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ cd Downloads 
$ sudo gdebi python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi python-glade2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi fslint_2.46-1_all.deb
$ sudo reboot
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: If preferred (thanks go to N0rbert for their post), &lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install ./*.deb&lt;/code&gt; installs all deb’s in a folder in one step, but for simplicity sake, albeit ironic as that may be, I am using gdebi on each deb one at a time. Heck, the antiquated MS Windows user in me may even reboot between installs for peace of mind. 

And now &lt;strong&gt;FSlint&lt;/strong&gt; can be used on &lt;strong&gt;Unbuntu 20.04&lt;/strong&gt; to find and remove duplicate files as well as across an entire QNAP NAS by tunneling to Files &#062; Computer &#062; nas_share in Ubuntu Linux Station 20.04 or also on a PC using Linux Mint 20. 

Hopefully, &lt;strong&gt;FSlint&lt;/strong&gt; is updated in 2021. The combo of Ubuntu Linux Station Ubuntu 20.04 and FSlint is a real time-saver on a QNAP, and while I&#039;ve been using Windows and macOS for decades, my go-to operating system to get real GUI-based work done is Linux Mint. The free Open Source app pool available today is simply amazing. 

Cheers :)

					<description><![CDATA[Great tool. Is there a way to not follow symlinks? from what I understand the &lt;code&gt;-s&lt;/code&gt; is to follow, so does it by default not follow them?
