Fclones is a great tool, but it's for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.
I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.
--cache option
I will check this out!

@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.
Oh that's funny x3

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.prune as fuck

you do realize this makes everyone immediately discard your opinion, because it's useless, right?

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.
My users home directory is ephemeral as well, so this wouldn't happen. Everything I didn't declare to persist is deleted on reboot.
What I do use tools like these for is verifying that my persistent storage paths are properly bind mounted and files end up in the correct filesystem.
I use
dustfor this, specifically with the-xflag to not traverse multiple filesystems. -
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.
So now I'm curious what distro you like most? I've been using popos for about a year at this point then tried fedora for about a week and now installed arch to feel around

The machine that was last installed in 2014 is Ubuntu LTS. It's been upgraded through all the LTS releases since then. Currently on 22.04 with the free Ubuntu Pro enabled. I use a mix of Ubuntu LTS and Debian stable on other machines. For example my laptop is on Debian 12. Debian has been the most reliable OS and community for over 30 years and I believe it'll still be around 30 years from now, if we haven't destroyed ourselves.

And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
Is there any disk usage tool that allows you to browse the tree while it's still being calculated, prioritizing current directory?

You do realise that you’re a waste of life and nobody will remember you when you die?
Why get this hostile over a random software? I hate their shit because it’s absurdly bloated and a pain to remove.
You’re a worthless loser and you know it as well as we do.

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