With Baobab, you know which folder takes up how much space in comparison to other folders in a complete list. Further, this is very useful for example if you plan to remove some unused folders to free disk space but don’t know which folders are safe to remove. And to Ubuntu users, Baobab fills the same purposes as KDE Filelight to Kubuntu users as well as WinDirStat (GNU GPL) to Windows users. Now let’s start reading!

3 Reasons to Enable ADB on Android
Quoting: 3 Reasons to Enable ADB on Android —
In the latest macOS and iOS updates, you can mirror your iPhone’s screen to your Mac computer. This can be quite useful in some scenarios. But what about Android? Sadly, there’s no native way to mirror your Android device’s screen to a Windows PC (or any computer, for that matter).
However, that’s where scrcpy comes in. The odd name stands for “screen copy” with the letters used in the application’s name in bold. Regardless of the odd naming convention, I was able to use scrcpy with ADB over my home network on my OnePlus 13R, and it was fantastic.
There was very little lag when using scrcpy, and the mirrored display works just as it would if you were physically touching it. I was able to use gestures just like I did on the OnePlus 13R, and everything functioned exactly how I expected.
