Filelight is an open-source graphical disk usage analyzer developed by KDE that breaks away from traditional tree views or text-heavy readouts. Instead, it maps your file system using a sunburst chart—a series of colorful, concentric segmented rings. This allows you to immediately pinpoint exactly which folders and subdirectories are hoarding your hard drive space. How to Install Filelight
Filelight is highly modular and works flawlessly across most Linux desktop environments (like GNOME, XFCE, or KDE Plasma). You can install it using your distribution’s package manager or via universal app stores:
Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint: Run sudo apt install filelight in your terminal. Fedora: Run sudo dnf install filelight. Arch Linux: Run sudo pacman -S filelight.
Universal Flatpak: You can grab it directly from the Flathub Filelight Page. Step-by-Step: Visualising Your Storage 1. Choose Your Target
