  • 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.

    Otherwise you can just create a custom folder in root like someone else suggested

    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. files under /media says it’s owner is ‘me’





  • 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

    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.

  • 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.







  • 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.
