    That file count actually includes directories (it's from running
    wc(1) on find -ls output.

    Here's a better answer:

    _[/dev/shm/wk]_(xxx@lm)🐧_
    $ awk '$3 ~ /^d/' ds-findls.out | wc -l
    6652594
    _[/dev/shm/wk]_(xxx@lm)🐧_
    $ awk '$3 !~ /^d/' ds-findls.out | wc -l
    56124136

    Also, I have a separate music share that houses
    my bandcamp, etc. purchases, as well as mixes for
    vehicular USB sticks:

    root@DT:/volume1/music# awk '$3 ~ /^d/' findls.out | wc -l
    11361
    root@DT:/volume1/music# awk '$3 !~ /^d/' findls.out | wc -l

    Utter BS.

    The term "folder" is a stupid construction based on the desktop paradigm.
    It is intended as an analogy to paper files and folders and furthermore
    it doesn't quite fit. A file cabinet contains folders which in actuality
    are files, i.e. a folder does not contain files but rather it is a file.

    Maybe Microslop should start using "cabinet" instead of "folder" -- and change that stupid yellow icon as well.

    The term "directory," however, is an accurate and much more professional description
    of the digital reality.

    People who use the term "folder" should be ... I won't say it.

    Everything about Microslop Winblows is designed for stupified idiots.

    OTOH, outside of the mainstream distros, everything in GNU/Linux is designed for knowledgeable professionals.

    The case is closed.

    Right. And as everyone knows, the command in windows
    to list a "folder" is "fold"[*].

    Oh wait, it's "dir". What does _that_ mean, hmmmmm?

    Seriously though, I wasn't being very serious.

    [*] BTW, there _is_ a fold(1) command in Unix, but it
