    I believe FileLight (in OP above) is a fork of or built on top of QDirstat.

        I can see you're not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

              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.

                  Isn't that a wayland notification daemon already?

                    I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to dust docs 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 `

                                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.

                                  (45347740 bytes is 43.247 megabytes).

                                  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 rm for that. Or wipefs if I'm feeling particularly spicy.

                                      Filelight is about finding the folders you don't use that take a lot of space. Basically an easier way to look into which folder takes up what.

                                        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.
