Better? This is absolutely awful if you have more than a handful of directories and files. It just shows the top directories and excludes everything that doesn’t fit. Directory names are truncated if they don’t fit so it’s difficult to know what “ti[…]e/” is… And you get this weird XXXXX lump for small files.
gdu is a slightly “nicer” looking ncdu and much faster than this.
And if looking for Rust alternatives, there’s dua.
Particularly user friendly when called in interactive mode with dua i, you can navigate the tree immediately as it populates and calculates space progressively.
