find
find is a very helpful utility found i most linux systems.
for example, lets say i want to find a file called wallpaperama.zip this is how the command i would run to look for it:
find -name wallpaperama.zip
then you will get a list of any files containting the whole word wallpaperama.zip
but lets say i dont know the file extension, i just know its called wallpaperama, the i can still use this command like this:
find -name wallpaperama*
if you want to know how to find a file in linux you can use the find command
