In Windows I could easily do this by navigating the directory tree and looking at the sizes. But in Linux, you need to run a command and, what's worse, it takes a lot of time:

$ du -sh /some/dir

I'm using a disk of 1 TB, but for some reason I only have like 50 GB left, and I can't seem to find what's taking so much space.

I remember that in Ubuntu I had to manually remove old kernel images. But now I'm on Fedora and dpkg -l | grep linux-image doesn't work, and I guess Fedora removes them automatically anyway.

Any ideas?

You can try to find big files in your disk with a command such as:

find . -size +100M -type f -exec ls -lh {} \;

In this example, only files with 100 Mega Bytes (units of 1048576 bytes) or more are displayed. That value can be tweaked as you please.

You can use this 

$ du -h --max-depth=1

You can use with tree also 

tree -h >> file
