From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ext4 directory recovery (lemmy.world)

I’m having trouble finding a recovery utility that meets my need. Ext4magic and extundelete don’t seem to allow for recovery of a specific directory, only working on the entire filesystem. Photorec can browse directories, doesn’t support ext4. Is there anything out there that can do both?

It has been a few years since I had to recover files. But, as far as I can remember, I have only used ext4 filesystem. I also booted Testdisk from a flashdrive; I may have used Hiren's Boot CD or something similar.

I am sorry I am not able to help you much. But, I do hope you are able to recover your files.
