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.

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