Has the internet told you Linux’ “find” command is too scary to use? Well, they’re wrong. Linux’ “find” command - also found in lots of other *NIX systems - is a critical tool to learn.

Lastly, this video wouldn’t be possible without my monthly sustaining supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. Members get a bunch of cool perks- if my unsponsored videos help you, I appreciate your consideration!
