Duplicates finder in Fedora

[augenauf (Flo)]

can anyone recommend a tool that scans my home folder for duplicates?

I have tried a few but none of them work.

• my go-to tool fslint was unmaintained upstream and has been retired
• fdupes -Sr /home/beyonce just stops all the time. It hangs, no error message provided. no clue what’s wrong
• there is Detwinner from flathub. It doesn’t start, issue here: detwinner flatpak doesn't start on Fedora · Issue #27 · neatdecisions/detwinner · GitHub

Can’t believe we don’t have a working tool in our repos…

• edit: and then there is Czkawka (Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux) on flathub, which doesn’t work either. I used flatseal to grant permission scanning my home dir but still the software hangs in the initial stage at 0,0% for over an hour. Piece of ----.

I found, but have never tried, the following:

• Rdfind: sudo dnf install rdfind
• dupeGuru: rpm package in Releases

I’ll give Rdfind a try.

@beastofcaerbannog

dupeGuru: rpm package in Releases

that rpm didn’t work (wasn’t able to start the program), despite matching the requested pyton version. (moreover, I need software from an offical repo - I have no time to manually update packages).

EDIT: rdfindworks fine - I’d prefer a GUI software for that purpose, but ok, I can live without.

EDIT2: after restarting my machine, I am able to use Czkawka (Flathub—An app store and build service for Linux) - this tool looks promising too. I has a lot of options and features.
