dupeGuru is a cross-platform GUI application written in Python (with Qt/Cocoa UI) that quickly detects duplicate files on your computer using flexible scanning modes—including filename fuzzy matching, content comparison, and specialized Music/Picture modes.

These systems should have a respective pyqt5-dev-tools package, which should also be installed. The presence of pyrcc5 can be checked with which pyrcc5. Debian based systems need the extra package, and Arch does not. Scanning by filename or content with fuzzy matching to catch similar filenames.
