Strangely I haven't found yet a tool like spacemonger or spacesniffer for Linux. None have that square layout so ncdu it is. Edit: I am trying something new here. Usually when I have beeninging complain or ask for help regarding a computer problem for a long time the solution appears in the minute in the comments or in a Google search. Fingers crossed.

QDirstat and K4Dirstat were the ones to use as of a few years ago; I don't know if there's a newer option since then.

They are still alive but they don't show the folder's names in the squares

Omg SpaceMonger. There's a blast from the past. Used to be an essential and crucial tool for me back in the day around the turn of the millennium.

Respect to whoever programmed it. Disk Inventory X became a must-install as soon as I switched over to Mac. Something about being able to see your whole disk that's more enlightening than browsing directories or trees somehow.

I still use this regularly. I literally used it yesterday. It’s a great solution to the problem of “how can I tell what is taking up all of the space on my drive”

Same here. I think I first found it on a shareware disc years and years ago, but still use it today on my Windows 10 machine
