Some alternatives:

* `vifm` file manager, more powerful and performant than ranger, for those who lean towards vim keybindings: https://vifm.info/gallery.shtml

* `btop` process monitor, for those who like eye candy: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop?tab=readme-ov-file#main...

`ncdu` is the single best tool I've ever found for tracking down high-disk-usage directories deep in the filesystem. Run it with the `-x` flag to prevent it from crossing mounts.

Wow, thanks for the pointer, finding it super useful right now to see what's taking so much space in my backups

Better than the kdirstat/windirstat family?

it works in the terminal on a headless server

That’s a plus!

A very good alternative to ranger is lf https://github.com/gokcehan/lf

It's a lot faster in all aspects, has mostly the same features and is pretty much a standalone binary.

edit: an even more minimal alteranative is nnn https://github.com/jarun/nnn
