timppu: I was just about to propose installing Arch Linux, but I guess not...
neumi5694: Linux is just as bad. I always wonder where the disk space on my synology server goes to. I don't have THAT much data on the primary volume.
Maintenance on a regular base is nececessary just as it is on Windows.
Definitely. Any computer device you own, be it a PC, a smartphone, maintenance and organisation is important. Regardless of the OS.
On Linux
df -h
and du -h --max-depth=(number)
are your friends.
df works from anywhere as it displays filesystems
for du you need to change to a directory first and it will display the disk usage for that directory and all sub-directories up to max-depth: change max-depth to 1 or 2 for best results.
baobab seems to be a similar program to spacesniffer for Linux desktop.
