I freed 30GB using Filelight
-
Clean all the cache downloads of Arch Linux Packages
pacman -Scc
Remove unused docker networks and images
docker system prune --all
Cleanup untracked git files that might be in .gitignore such as build and out directories (beware of losing data, use "n" instead of "f" for a dry run)
git clean -xdf
Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)
git gc --aggressive --prune=now
Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days
journalctl --vacuum-time 7days
Remove pip cache
pip cache purge
I can see you're not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

Personally I'm loving diskonaut. "Graphical" representation but at, ahem, terminal velocity.
I use dua, but this looks neat too.
-
I use
du -hs * | sort -hdu -sxk | sort -ngotta find those hidden files too! -
And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
My dad's Linux setup couldn't log in. After a bit of investigation, starting the session manually and so on, i got a hunch and indeed; i saw in Baobab that the backup script took the wrong disk, filled up the one with home, making it slow, so the log-in thingie timed out, failing the session.
-
On gtk desktops it's something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can't make lightweight and standalone software.

dustYes, it's
duin Rust + more.Isn't that a wayland notification daemon already?
Edit: no, that's dunst.
Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to
dustdocs haha.Now I got you. It's a codeblock so it shows in monospace font. Look up .md formatting for tips.
In this case its a word between backticks `

Ah, right, it's the

No package for my distro, I "installed" an AppImage with AM (which is also how I discovered it)
-
I freed 50gb by running 'docker system prune'...
I'm new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn't load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.
I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.

[moonpie@osiris ~]$ du -h $(which filelight) 316K /usr/bin/filelightK = kilobytes.

KDE packages have many dependencies, which cause the packages themselves to be extremely tiny. By sharing a ton of code via libraries, they save a lot of space.

I normally use
rmfor that. Orwipefsif I'm feeling particularly spicy. -

-
Lol I had no idea it relied on so much. Its just built into KDE. Really great app overall.
Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you'd already have these.
