   ncdu vs WinDirStat Comments

   Positive comment by headphoneamp · May 10, 2017

   it is supported by Linux Terminal

   Positive comment by i-hate-it-here · Oct 4, 2024

   Simple, but very useful. You need to be comfortable with using command line, but it does what it needs to.

   Positive comment by Guest · Oct 15, 2019

   Many servers are command-line only over ssh, so graphical tools are useless for those. This is a good tool to be able to see what is going on quickly and using only a ssh shell session.

   QDirStat vs WinDirStat Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Guest · Oct 24, 2018

   Visually looks exactly like windirstat.

   Positive comment by Guest · Mar 9, 2023

   It simply works on Linux and has a familiar feel to WinDirStat

   Positive comment by Guest · Jan 21, 2022

   Well, it's the same but in Linux. Good layout etc. The ony thing I miss is analyzing the entire drive. You can't just analyze /, but /home/ or /whatever/

   Does whatever WinDirStat does, but much more neat UI

   Showing directory size is not enough for me. I need to see files sizes in that big directory. And WinDirStat do it on the first page.

    K4DirStat vs WinDirStat Comments

    Positive comment by brinerustle · Oct 25, 2016

    It uses treemaps, and so provides a good alternative to windirstat for linux users. Really only fully compatible with KDE, and installing it will require that you install a good chunk of the KDE desktop, so gnome users should consider using GD Map instead.

    Positive comment by Guest · May 21, 2022

    I like K4DirStat as an alternative to WinDirStat because I like WinDirStat (and its UI) and K4DirStat's UI is very similar.
