    My / is a tmpfs.

    There is no state accumulating that I didn't explicitly specify, exactly because I don't want to deal with those kind of chores.

    These tools are also useful for finding large files in your home directory. E.g. I've found a large amount of Linux ISOs I didn't need anymore.

        Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?

        I usually keep important stuff on my server but things like games and stuff I purge with the fresh install and just download the games I'm actively playing, also helps clear up any issues from installing random junk during the months between as I settle on what programs I like

          Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!

            It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences. 🙂

            With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.

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

                    sudo rm -rf /
                    

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

                    The joke goes rm -fr, which stands for "remove french".
                    Yours would has double "remove".

                      I've really enjoyed ncdu (for those looking for a non-GUI option).

                            Lol I had no idea it relied on so much. Its just built into KDE. Really great app overall.

                                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

                                    If you need a more interactive method, gdu is awesome. And if you're using btrfs, btdu gives preliminary results instantly (which get more precise over time).

                                        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.
