Demystifying "find" and "find -exec" ...Lil' Linux Lesson!
Has the internet told you Linux' \
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.
In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, I'll be demystifying the "find" command, and covering how it works with the "-exec" option, which I promise will make your life easier as a sysadmin, Linux user, or just any nerd who likes to play with the terminal.

Thank you, Veronica. My Commodore 64 sits at the shelf in a box. I‘ve not used it in the last 5 years. But I should dig it out. 🤔 I’d like to play a game of „Space Taxi“ now.
