    On gtk desktops it's something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can't make lightweight and standalone software.

        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 `

                  No package for my distro, I "installed" an AppImage with AM (which is also how I discovered it)

                    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.

                                One of the things I dislike about Rust is the massive amount of disk space it takes to do a download, compile, test run.
                                2GB of dependencies and build files for a 200K binary is a bit much.

                                        Now someone needs to do a rewrite of dunst in rust called runst to make the confusion complete.

                                          You can run it without causing any problems if you add the --no-preserve-root flag as well of course
