        Is this a Linux version of windirstat?

        There's also QDirStat which is like KDirStat but without KDE dependencies.

          I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:

          sudo rm -rf /
          

          Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".

            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

            Remove unused conda packages and caches:

            conda clean --all

            If you are a Python developer, this can easily be several or tens of GB.

              I create a cron job with something like: docker system prune -af --filter="until=XXh" where XX is on the order of a few days.

                I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.

                I don't think you'll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.

                t. I've set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.

                        Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

                            Oh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.

                                  In Germany "du hs" is considered an insult and I think that's beautiful.
