Consider dua as a TUI replacement for Disk Usage

[crmne]

The current Disk Usage implementation uses dust which is fine for a one shot view of the disk usage, but Dua has a proper TUI that enables navigation inside folders.

Check it out!

Quick start:

dua -x i / # to check your root and not cross any other mount point
dua i # in the current folder. run it in $HOME for checking your home dir!

Also check out Terminal Trove, I'm sure you'll like it if you don't know it already!

dust one-shot is rather useless in typical "disk cleaning" tasks where you need to go look around for what can be cleaned up.
I wonder what use cases there are where you don't want interactivity? (if you need a quick overview of the current dir only, du is actually better imho)

i've used ncdu to great effect for years. it's similar to dua, less pretty output, a tad slower (based on a quick test after warming caches), but a bit more options (which i don't use) and always interactive.

seems either dua or ncdu would make great replacements for dust.
