    Ok, so, it takes about 96% of the data in the home partition. Here are some screenshots of Qdirstat scans of my laptop’s 1tb ssd:

    ~/:

    Qdirstat scan of "~/"

    ~/root/:

    Qdirstat scan of "~/root/"

    Many of the files here are flac files and some ancient movies I have. 😄

    Also, this is a (censored) directory list of top 3 levels of the root structure (I have put some unecessary dirs in Obsolete-dirs instead of deleting them and many dirs here are either empty or near-empty, like the book categories or the chart dirs):

    Btw, I have separate root, home and boot partitons on my nixos install, here’s the root partition:

    /:

    Qdirstat scan of "/"


    Lastly, the external hdd I have isn’t that organized, because many of the backup folder aren’t inside the root folder. I think putting them inside the /root/backup/ path would be the proper way, but this would probably break my backup workflow and mess with a script I have to sync my phone. I might do it one time:)

    It’s not an app, it’s actually a very simple repo containing folders and readmes.

    It’s just a folder structure, which you can use on your system. Unzip the file and slowly fill the folders with your files. I had to create(or maybe even rename/delete) some folders to adapt it to my needs. It took me around 20days during summer to organize around 2-3tb of my laptop and my external disk.

    It was a kinda painful manual process, but I think it was really worth it, now things are well organized, I detected and removed hunderds of GB of unecessary/duplicate/unwanted files, it’s easier to navigate now, the structure is cleaner and syncing a big part of my drive is relatively easy now. There some files, like installed programs and their data which are in predefined paths and I didnt move those, so these were left out. Also some games save their data in Documents, so I symlinked their data in documents. And there’s the defauly downloads folder which is now more of a temporary folder for stuff I download before I move them or delete them.

    There is not exactly a standard for how to orginize your files, but this repo is a very good start:)

    Edit: I think organizing my files was my first step on the list in order to transition to linux, it would otherwise make it harder to properly backup and sync a mess of files gathering up for years. To sync my files to my external drive I just had to backup only ~10folders and one of which was the “root” (the one in the repo as you can see) which contained about 90% of my files. Much easier, much faster.
