Thanks for posting. I picked up something I was missing on Debian, now my script runs as it should. Keep the videos coming bruv...

For the fdfind -> fd.

You could just avoid fd at all and alias find to fdfind.

Sp if you want to run fdfind you type `find`

And if you find you type ``\find`` or ``command find``

Thanks! Great explanation. It is really useful.

Seems simpler to use than find for typical uses such as running commands on each found file. I'll give it a try.

If we have a better code for find, why not update the find command? why not update ifconfig? or netstat? Why rename everything and have to update our scripts and memory?
