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'

IDK if I'm doing anything wrong.

No need to make it more complicated than it has to be.

Thank You.

It is the same on Mint too.

But isn't anything under /mnt is defaulted to root as owner?

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?

Thank You.

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

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.

Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that's the case what's the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what's the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?

Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?

I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.

100GB - Windows 11

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

There is also three linux4noob communities 🥲
