ncdu, alternative Linux à WinDirStat
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
ncdu is a solid replacement for WinDirStat if you are comfortable using a terminal. It excels at speed and low resource usage, making it ideal for large drives. However, it lacks the visual treemap that many WinDirStat users rely on for quick visual identification of large files. It is best for users who prefer keyboard-driven navigation and do not need to delete files directly from the interface. If visual representation is critical, consider GUI alternatives like Baobab or Dusty, but for pure performance and simplicity, ncdu is the standard choice.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- Interactive tree view for navigating directory structures
- Sorts directories by size to highlight largest consumers
- Fast scanning performance suitable for large partitions
- Open-source software with active maintenance
Ce qui change
- No visual treemap; ncdu uses a text-based list instead
- Cannot delete or move files directly within the interface
- Lacks grouped statistics by file extension
- Requires a terminal emulator to run
Ouvrir vos fichiers WinDirStat
ncdu does not open WinDirStat files (.txt or .dat). It saves its own scan results in a binary format specific to ncdu. You cannot import existing WinDirStat data into ncdu, nor can you export ncdu results in a format that WinDirStat can read. If you need to share data between the two, you would have to manually copy file paths and sizes, which is not practical.
Passer de WinDirStat à ncdu, étape par étape
- Install ncdu via your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install ncdu).
- Run ncdu on the target directory (e.g., ncdu /).
- Use arrow keys to navigate and press 's' to sort by size.
- Press 'e' to export the current scan to a file for later review.
- Note that you must use standard file management tools to delete identified large files.
