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.

And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.

Personally I'm loving diskonaut. "Graphical" representation but at, ahem, terminal velocity. Image

Jesus, that rustup folder is HUGE

One of the things I dislike about Rust is the massive amount of disk space and time it takes to do a download, compile, test run.
2GB of dependencies and build files for a 200K binary is a bit much.

No package for my distro, I "installed" an AppImage with AM (which is also how I discovered it)

I use dua, but this looks neat too.
