I've been running Manjaro for a few months now and I'm loving it. Really weird when I go back to a machine that isn't using something like i3, it makes managing my applications so much nicer.

Find sucks, but it's ubiquitous and I can just pipe it to grep. I can't be bothered to learn some hipster replacement written in Rust, because find is good enough and does everything I need. It's also already installed everywhere and uses the same terrible syntax that I've already learned.

find sucks but at least it's pretty much available everywhere and most of the implementations are similar

if they replace find, all that's going to change are the search terms I put into google when I have to use it for 5 minutes every 3 months

If people want to replace find, then they can feel free to try. I won't stop them. If init is bad enough to force systemd on us, then who's to say that find would encounter a similar fate. But you'll have to make sure its replacement is in ubuntu and redhat (and freebsd) and busybox in the default repositories (except for busybox where it's built in) or else I'm pretty sure people will just stick with find.

fd and ripgrep are both pretty nice, and one of the best parts is that they are not drop-in replacements. Instead, they often need less flags to do everyday stuff in my experience. Neither is revolutionary, but both are decent quality-of-life improvements over find / grep if you feel like learning a new (but similar) tool. It's cool that they are usually slightly faster than find / grep, too, but that's not really that important for most users.

is ripgrep better than silversearcher? because I do like silversearcher a lot more than grep

been using rg for a couple years now and it's good, for what i use it for its effectively interchangeable with grep id say the biggest functional difference for me is its gitignore-aware by default, so you aren't constantly waiting for it to finish scanning through your build artifacts also the output appearance is better than stock grep

also ive only installed rg via package manager so the language its in isn't really a factor

if you don't like find, but enjoy finding things on your systems, you can install a command called locate; it's m/p locate on some distros, versions. it's a lot like find, except it generates a db of your local files, and periodically it goes back through and re-indexes things. it's significantly more convenient to use to actually find files, although you do have to keep in mind that it's a static snapshot, if it's something you just added

I like ripgrep-all for searching within non plaintext files (it adds filters for various file types to ripgrep), although I have to limit it to one thread or it uses all my ram.

one of the very first pieces of windows software i missed when moving to linux was voidtools everything i eventually found fsearch, which is deliberately a clone of everything and it works v well, endorse it it's only a gui tool, though. the author recommends fzf as a cli tool but i haven´t tried it yet
