QDirStat
QDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility. The successor of https://alternativeto.net/software/kdirstat/ without any KDE dependencies.
What is QDirStat?
QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.
From the author of the original KDirStat.
This is a Qt-only port of the old Qt3/KDE3-based one, now based on the latest Qt 5. It does not need any KDE libs or infrastructure. It runs on every X11-based desktop on Linux, BSD and other Unix-like systems.
QDirStat features both tree and treemap which makes easier to identify disk usage. With customizable disk cleanup actions predefined behaviour might be setup and then performed in easy way via context menu.
QDirStat is also capable to show summary from aggregated data and visualize disk usage processed by various statistical methods.

Said about QDirStat as an alternative
Visually looks exactly like windirstat.
it is very similar to windirstat, it has similar features and is very fast
It shows from the biggest to smallest directory size. The big block on the bottom could be disabled on the view menu.

RazTK added QDirStat as alternative(s) to Folder Size Analyzer
This is much better UI than the linux disk usage analyzer, as the largest files are also shown along with folder sizes. The total view of the drive is a awesome. Since the drive follows 80:20 rule, it is much easier to locate few large files and it can directly take care of it. Also we can directly delete the file (use Ctrl-Del - to not to send to trash), which auto-refreshes the UI, for a quick find of the next big thing to delete.
