I freed 30GB using Filelight

Those are rookie numbers.

I'm still pretty new to Linux so I break stuff pretty often, like recently I was trying to get opencl working with my amd gpu and I ended up causing every video I played to stutter constantly.

And I've been trying out new software to control fans or rgb and following guides making me enter commands until I figure out something that works I note it down so when I do a fresh install again I can easily configure it without all the trial and error etc and install only the software I found that I liked

That plus distro hopping

To be fair Baobab is a weird way to spell Baobab

I'm getting old...KISS!

[yerbayerba@lemm.ee]

Came to recommend du-dust!

side note: wiztree performs better on windows than windirstat, radically faster scans

now I feel dirty talking about windows here..

Looks like the depends list of the average KDE app on a none KDE system.

[avidamoeba@lemmy.ca]

That kinda makes sense at this stage. If you spend time understanding what those commands do, you'd understand how the system works, and most importantly how to not fuck it up. Keep in mind there's a lot of misinformation and bad practices in guides out there. People who bare know more than you feel confident to share snippets without warning. Ten or twenty years ago much fewer people had experience with Linux and most people confident enough to write were technical people that knew what they were talking about. Destructive misinformation was less.

But yeah when you learn, the need or urge to reinstall disappears. I stopped reinstalling in 2014. Took me 9 years to unfuck my Windows brain and understand enough to not shoot myself in the feet. Main machine hasn't been reinstalled since then. That's with replacing multiple main boards, switching AMD > Intel > AMD, changing SSDs, going from single SSD to mdraid, increasing in size over time, etc.

Ops, you are right. My bad

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Don't worry. English for clmminicarion is just fine. It was not meant to be malicious.
I just saw this video sooo many times, it was kind of a standard response.

BÄÄM is like the German version of BOOM in comics.
Therefore "BÄM Lee" because he knocks people out with one punch.

Its spoken like the beginning of BAd behaviour. Maybe that's helpful.

[priapus@sh.itjust.works]

That's very normal if you don't have any KDE apps. If you were using KDE and installed a GNOME app it'd be similar.

[inferno@lemmy.ml]

There was something about wiztree that kept me using windirstat. I don't think it's free software.

[rustydrd@sh.itjust.works]

You could try baobab instead.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

this looks exactly like gnome disk usage analyzer

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

I didn't think either were, but yea wiztree is pretty classically shareware

[abbotsbury@lemmy.world]

It's a KDE application, yes.

Personally I'm loving diskonaut. "Graphical" representation but at, ahem, terminal velocity.

[jbrains@sh.itjust.works]

Excellent! I missed DaisyDisn. It looks great!

[orderedchaos@lemmy.world]

It doesn't mean For Real? Jk

In case you don't already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache
