<p>Once I have migrated fully I'll either use it for mass storage or
install something fun and unimportant. Manjaro looks interesting.
Maybe a VM look at it. Thanks for the feedback!<br>

and we could resurrect really malcontent hard drives like that.
In someway SATA drives are supposed to have some SCSI hardware
capablitiies. Does anybody know how he could do that? Anyhow,
it seems like you should do surgery on that drive and reload
some kind of real basic linux like Puppy till your sure it won't
misbehave anymore.</div>

<p>Now the joy of migrating my email and browser data! BTW,
my older ACER has decided to open directories in FF
instead of Nautilus. Any idea of how to stop this bead
behavior or why it started?<br>

<p>Howdy all,</p>
<p>I bought a on-sale laptop. It's an: ASUS VivoBook
15.6" FHD Laptop, Quad-Core Ryzen 5 2500U
Processor (up to 3.6 GHz) with Radeon Vega 8
Graphics, 8 GB DDR4, 256 GB M.2 SSD, 802.11ac
Wi-Fi - F505ZA-DH51. It's a race car for me at
least. I downloaded Ubunu 19.04 and made a
bootable USB drive and installed. Boy is it good
looking! I can't wait to get all of my data
migrated but I am. As you see the SSD is not so
large as the 1TB I have on my old ACER. I thought
that I was using about 45% disk space and was not,
of course, worried because the drive is so large
capacity. I never finished migrating all of my
data from my previous and hosed 500GBSSD that Mark
helped, or actually did, save so I have some
scattered data on the ACER and on the 500SSD. In
prepping to start moving stuff around I used the
GUI Disk Analyzer and very much to my surprise I
found files of up to 49GB!! I have 5 or 6 WINE
programs I run and that shows up as a 39GB folder.
Now that makes no sense at all, as is the case
with several other folders. I have a folder for my
activism stuff and that's 29GB which is
outlandishly wrong. So the Disk analyzer is wrong
or somehow these folders have been growing on
their own, bloating like a president's ego. My Q
is, what console tool would give me the disk usage
in a tree-like format (I know not like a GUI but a
list from highest to lowest size of folders). Is
this possible?</p>
<p>It appears that if the GUI Disk Analyzer is
correct then I can lose a few items, like the wine
programs, VMs and other unnecessaries and have
plenty of space on the new drive. I had planned to
use the 1TB drive as a storage device for my
10,000+ photos, etc. This would work but I don't
trust the GUI and don't want to start some weird
event and lose data nor do I want to transfer
mostly useless data that is actually a couple
Gigs and not the tens of GB I am seeing.</p>
<p>I'll check out the forums for a console command
but i thought I'd go to the best first.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
