I’m using EndeavourOS. I installed btop++ as well as Disk Usage Analyzer. Both give me different disk space information.
I know I don’t have 60gb worth of files on my system for sure, DUA confirms that. How can I get btop++ to read the correct disk space usage?

It seems like one is showing GiB and the other GB, which are two different units.
KB = 1000B KiB = 1024B
Which doesn’t seem significant but it adds up.

It’s not this significant (3x). it should be closer to 7%. My guess is that OP is using something like btrfs, whose data used is calculated differently due to the CoW nature, and btop++ is using using a generic tool to estimate disk usage rather than the btrfs utility that DUA is almost certainly using.
