From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

. I usually use it in interactive most which lets you navigate through the file system with visual representations of total dir/file size.Here is a screenshot randomly found from the github issues
I also recently found this gui program called
k4dirstat
buried in the repos. There are a few more modern options but this one blows them all out of the park.Screenshot from the github repo:
Too bad they used such an ugly configuration for the screenshot.. It allows you to modify the visualization to look better and display information differently. Anyway just thought I'd share as the project is old and little known.
thanks for sharing a screenshot of ncdu, should help others discover it
for the visualization itself IMHO Disk Usage Analyzer gives aesthetically pleasing results, not a fan of the UX but it works well enough to identify efficiently large files or directories
