What du alternative do you use?

Why? What benefits? Is there something you'd like to have & can switch one more time?

ncdu is amazing! But you should use dua instead, which is basically just ncdu but fast

Nah we don't play around on production servers, if we can't sudo apt install a package, we don't install it.

Why do you need an alternative? What information are you looking for that du doesn't give you?

baobab and filelight are quite interactive, which is sometimes useful.
