GUI Alternatives for Fslint on Linux(only open source)

[qarmin]

Due unavability of FSlint in Ubuntu 20.04 repositories, some of you may think about alternatives I wrote small feature comparison of tools which can replace FSlint.

There is also Detwinner from Flathub, which works fine (I think) https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.neatdecisions.Detwinner

Can you add to the table the date of the latest stable version as a clue of how maintained they are?

Note that Czkawka will just delete all copies of a file without warning, unlike FSLint. https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/issues/317#issuecomment-839970234

Meanwhile FSLint is increasingly buggy, seems basically unmaintained, doesn't work well when there are duplicates within one source folder but not the other.

rmlint can do most of what I want, but is really hard to figure out the command line options, and dangerous with unexpected effects with large numbers of files that you can't check all by hand. And I can't figure out how to use the GUI, despite trying more than once.

AllDup is the best by far, with all the features I need and a good interface, but is Windows-only. I actually resort to sharing my entire drive over SSH and using AllDup on it over SFTP Drive, but it's really slow that way.

What do you mean by that, i just tried it under linux and i get a warning before anything is deleted, you can move it into trash instead and you have to select the files to be deleted before all of that. I tried with images, so far Czkawka looking good. Version 4.0.0 AppImage ;)
