dust VS bottom

Try using dust https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

How does this compare to dust?

Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.

dust is also really nice.

bottom

I'd suggest Bottom as a TUI alternative to the in-built task managers - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

It works on Windows also.

If anyone is looking for a "top" like, written in Rust, might have a look at https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

Looks like bottom with another theme

bottom - A cross-platform graphical process/system monitor with a customizable interface and a multitude of features.

As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.
