Back in my (sucky) Windows days, I used the tree command to view the file hierarchy in a pretty display. I am aware of the find command, but to actually process any data in my clogged 241,416 folders/files from just checking each line is as possible as time travelling...

On Windows, the tree command gave a diagram-like output that is human readable

So, my question is, is there anything graphically close to the Windows/DOS tree command?

Same command exist. To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install treeYou have tree command in linux. All you have to do is install it. It works very similar to the one in windows.
sudo apt-get install tree
