Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

I use
du -hs * | sort -hIf 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).

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Sorry I did not get this reference. I'm not a Futurama fan. I don't know why.
️But I know BÄÄM cheese!
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.

And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
I use gdu personally

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.
That's a weird way to spell Baobab

I use
du -hs * | sort -hduf is pretty slick

I'm here to promote
fclones. I've used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I'm not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven't used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I'm planning to test it out eventually, but the latestfclonesrun was only about a month ago, so it doesn't make sense to try it yet.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.

That's when you know it's time for a fresh install
Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?

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.

dustYes, it's
duin Rust + more. -

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!

Its a reference to a german video clip. It was a true classic in our group.

Sir, this is not Windows.

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". -
Basically, just using gtk instead of Qt
I've really enjoyed
ncdu(for those looking for a non-GUI option). -
dustYes, it's
duin Rust + more.I have to remember to check this out. its on my reminders in my self host calendar but its been offline fpr quite some time after moving.
