Linux fuser for the win
I've never fused Linux before, is it difficult?
I barely know er!
fuser is an easy command just point it at the file and it tells you the process ids that using that file.
Not anymore. Many distribution will have most of what you need out of the box depending on what your needs are. They mostly feel like windows XP or 7.
where do i get linux xp 7?
Either a distribution with KdE Plasma (Kubuntu for example), or something like Zorin OS works really well.
https://kde.org/linux/
Arch wiki
Or stay with the basics and use lsof.
Either way, not coming with that tool by default and forcing every usage of the file to lock it is a really stupid pair of mistakes.
