Better? This is absolutely awful if you have more than a handful of directories and files. It just shows the top directories and excludes everything that doesn’t fit. Directory names are truncated if they don’t fit so it’s difficult to know what “ti[…]e/” is… And you get this weird XXXXX lump for small files.
gduis a slightly “nicer” looking ncdu and much faster than this.And if looking for Rust alternatives, there’s
dua.Particularly user friendly when called in interactive mode with
dua i, you can navigate the tree immediately as it populates and calculates space progressively.I don’t look for apps based on what language they’re written in.
And I sure as hell don’t install apps that use “curl” to fetch an install script and pipe it to a shell. This practice needs to die in a fire.
Oh nice. gdu really is ncdu, just faster (on SSDs).

dua is more like ncdu in rust, less stale too
Doesn’t seem to cope well with hardlinks, also last commit was 2 years ago…
…but it’s Rust!
Really wish the rusticles out there realised that the language is not a feature for user-space apps. Nobody cares if their disk utilisation tool is in Rust. All that matters is that gives useful information in a timely fashion.

Wrong. You don’t care. There are people who care. Not every information must meet your personal needs in order to be mentioned in the title. Edit: Also we are in a programming community, so this makes you double wrong.
ncdu is df but interactive.
Don’t you mean
du?
