Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

Clean mount lists in Linux
For anyone that likes ncdu I would highly recommend gdu. https://github.com/dundee/gdu

new and interesting file managers or text editors for the cli lately?
gdu is faster
- How to report on usage?
- Why does macOS keep a cache of every wallpaper ever used?
-
Midnight Commander is MIA; any command line based twin pane file manager recommendations?
gdu - Just a very fast and cool disk usage explorer
-
RPCS3 compile to SD card?
The RPCS3 flatpak lives in /home/deck/.var/app/net.rpcs3.RPCS3. I'd advise you to install a tool like gdu or use something like du -h --max-depth=1 in the console in that directory, to find where the disk usage goes. There are also GUI tools, but I prefer these myself.

Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage
While ncdu does the job I've found gdu (similar tool written in Go) significantly faster for larger directories.

Why can i not resize my main partition? I’m running out of space and have no idea why
There's also gdu, which is much faster on SSDs.

Clean mount lists in Linux
Also `dua`[0] is a great `du` replacement which is must faster on modern NVMe drives. Also has an interactive mode `dua i` which I'd frame as a `ncdu` replacement.

Erdtree v1.4.1 - the love child of `tree` and `du`, now with support for a configuration file to override defaults and more
Yeah erdtree won't scratch that itch if you prefer interactive apps. I personally wanted something to just give me quick visual info without spawning an entire terminal UI and learning its quirks. But if you're an ncdu person and are in the mood for a modern alternative I'd recommend checking out Dua

erdtree v1.2.0, a modern multi-threaded alternative to `du` and `tree` now with support for globbing, icons, and more
Thank you! And totally understandable. erdtree won't scratch that itch for folks who have a penchant for interactive terminal apps. As I mentioned in another thread I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the original tree program so I wanted to keep the spirit of the thing. If you want a more modern version of ncdu perhaps you might like dua!

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Another one I used for years until I found dua-cli. It can be run as a TUI with dua -i for a ncdu like interface.
