A bit too much to just install one soft. Hard pass.
[moonpie@osiris ~]$ du -h $(which filelight) 316K /usr/bin/filelightK = kilobytes.
[moonpie@osiris ~]$ pacman -Ql filelight | awk '{print $2}' | xargs du | awk '{print $1}' | paste -sd+ | bc 4534774045347740 bytes is 43.247 megabytes. That is to say, the entire install of filelight is only 43 megabytes.
KDE packages have many dependencies, which cause the packages themselves to be extremely tiny. By sharing a ton of code via libraries, they save a lot of space.
It being KDE is even less reason to use it
you do realize this makes everyone immediately discard your opinion, because it's useless, right?
That's very normal if you don't have any KDE apps. If you were using KDE and installed a GNOME app it'd be similar.
It's a KDE application, yes.
You could try baobab instead.
Looks like the depends list of the average KDE app on a none KDE system.
Lol I had no idea it relied on so much. Its just built into KDE. Really great app overall.
Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you'd already have these.
My little widget to get the weather, Blazing Fast Uber Duper made in Rust, has like 85 total dependencies from like 3 crates that I need...
My own software is a hard pass for myself...
That's great!
Another thing that is great, since we are talking about disk space: people, check your Rust repositiry, it might be huge.
I deleted that folder and, in my case, freed 12gb. Not too shabby.
flatpak install flathub org.kde.filelight
On gtk desktops it's something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can't make lightweight and standalone software.
