Since locate doesn't work by default in Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, and the message on the terminal says:
Command 'locate' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install plocate
As we can see, it says that we can install it with sudo apt install plocate. I want to know the difference between mlocate and plocate so that I can decide which one to install.
