It is the same on Mint too.

But isn’t anything under /mnt is defaulted to root
as owner?
Thank You.
Even if I switch my drives or folder names
You don’t mean changing name of ‘Videos’ right?
entire drive is mounted to /media first, and then all subdirectories are mounted where I need them.
So you mount directories accordind to your need not drives and partitions? Seems flexible.
then your cannot boot into your system anymore.
Why? Are you talking about removing the drive that contains /
?
Thank You for suggestion. Gonna try that Tonight and have fun mounting loads of data.
You mean that you create folder in /
named C:
?
or a joke maybe?
My Files, which are inside the partition mounted in /mnt/something has root as Owner. So When I try to move something to Trash, it’s not allowing me to do, Only perma delete. When saw properties it said owner is root.
Is it because mounted at /mnt?
Files under /media seems fine. and says it’s owner is ‘me’
Thank You.
Otherwise you can just create a custom folder in root like someone else suggested

Seems Clean.
No Disadvantages? Like some stubborn program says I will only work if its under /mnt
?
chmod 000
What does this do? I’m a Meganoob.
Fixed mountpoints
?
having one available manual mountpoint
you mean the whole /mnt is meant to single mount point?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thank You.
fixed disks under /mnt
NAS in /media
Why ? that’s what I’m asking. Can’t you just put in the same folder and call it a day?
I put my fixed disk in /mnt

Merge “Mint” and “Timeshift” partitions.
I thought (also most people said) keeping the Backup in same partition as root defeats the purpose of Backup and brings certain inconvenience like can’t just delete the partition. Also I don’t know if its possible to restore a backup from a partition to the same partition itself.
Use BTRFS if you can.
I’m aware that BTRFS has certain adavantages. But the whole BTRFS is alien to me, as I’m new to Linux. Also I assumed that BTRFS doesn’t have enough community support as ext4 is default on Linux and many people just aren’t bothered to change it.
If you can, ditch dual boot. If the reason of keeping Windows is MS Office or Adobe apps, you can install them on Wine.
I only use Windows for DaVinci Resolve Free. And for the possibility of requiring Windows exclusive programs in the future as I’m an Engineering Student.
System wide flatpaks are in /var/lib/flatpak/app. Flatpak installed for one user only are installed somewhere in ~/.var. Keep in mind that home directory is not backed up by default.
Thank You.
Interesting viewpoint.
Thank You for the helpful info .
I’m not saying don’t create lemmy community when subreddit exist.
I’m saying don’t create lemmy community when another lemmy community for the same purpose already exists on different instance without a good reason.
when you can follow, subscribe to, post to, or comment on any community on any instance, there’s no fragmentation
I’m not talking about fragmentation on instances but on the communities.
If there are 5 Unixporn on different instances, I have to make 5 crossposts and the engagement I’m gonna get is fragmented.
If there is only one unixporn, only one post and I get more opinions of people in a collective manner and also more people will interact with each other, which lead to more refined solution.
But Whatever, It is what it is.
Thank You. Still got to learn a lot.
It is what it is.🙂↕️
Thank You.
