And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
I like Bleachbit but I'll check this out

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.

This is why I've set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads -- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.

I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.
Is this a Linux version of windirstat?
There's also QDirStat which is like KDirStat but without KDE dependencies.
There's a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.
I hadn't heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it's a different take on the same idea.
Omfg.
I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.
And now there's a thread on this exact topic. Y'all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn't enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD

Oh shit, he's onto us!
side note: wiztree performs better on windows than windirstat, radically faster scans
now I feel dirty talking about windows here..

Those are rookie numbers.
I'm here to promote fclones. I've used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I'm not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven't used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I'm planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn't make sense to try it yet.
Fclones is a great tool, but it's for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.
I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.
