Z/mntThis directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which any program is run.
This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead.
Tit's funny how you're better off owning only one drive, one GPU, and one monitor on linux because of the issues when you have more than 1 of those things. i think multi-monitor support is better now though
CThat's a benefit of the KitchenAid, is 58 mm
SBut I can't access the drive without mounting it
IIt's like no one had a media/game library when they were working on the xdg spec
Tand secondary drives arent that bad besides learning about mounting drives
Kwhich involves setting a mount point, not changing it
ZWoaaa, if I ever get an espresso machine I'm forcing my teacher to print me one of those lmfao
Thybrid GPUs only gave me issues with steam's and blender's broken desktop file with 2 GPUs
ZIf the drive is unmounted and formatted it's already not gonna be in the downloads folder
IThe disconnect here is you removed the partition and made a new one, it shouldn't be mounted. You do need to figure out where to mount the new partition, yes.
TI used to run Ubuntu on an old laptop (~2007). seeing as many issues these days with the dual GPU setup they tend to have now makes me never want to do it again hah
SThen where should the mount point be?
IFrom our discussion just now, probably in
/mntLike just /mnt or a subfolder inside?
Kthis was answered already
Tmake a subfolder in there
Tyea
SIf it's /MNT/Drive then idk why but it's not letting me create a folder for the drive
Tit's a permissions issue
Tyea
SYeah it's telling me I don't have permission
Tright click in
/mntsudo mkdir gamesTenter password if it asks
SDo I call it games or like Games 1?
Tgames1Tsure
Ilowercase no spaces is generally going to be easier in the long run.
IYou can name it whatever, though.
SOkay I made the folder

IFor context,
sudo is "super user do" or "perform this action with the [as/the permissions of] the root user". It's like when something pops up a UAC/admin prompt in windowsSI thought sudo meant Pseudonym lol I'm dome

ZAccording to RedHat, it seems that
/dev might be appropriate?The /dev/ directory contains device nodes that represent the following device types:
devices attached to the system;
virtual devices provided by the kernel.
[...]
Devices in the /dev/ directory and subdirectories are defined as either character (providing only a serial stream of input and output, for example, mouse or keyboard) or block (accessible randomly, such as a hard drive or a floppy drive). If GNOME or KDE is installed, some storage devices are automatically detected when connected (such as with USB) or inserted (such as a CD or DVD drive), and a pop-up window displaying the contents appears.
SLinux is so confusing soentimes
ZTechnically an internal storage device is attached to the system, however I'm sure that there's a direct file for the drives already since everything is a file
ZWhen a system is so open the community makes standards and the developers make recommendations
SSo should make the mounting point to /MNT/games1 or /dev/games1?
H/dev is for device blocks, not for mounting files, it is where you find the block files for disks, among other thingsZRight
H/mnt/games1if you have permissions issues with making folders inside the mounted disk you might need to do
sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/games1in the terminal
ZThe /mnt/ directory is reserved for temporarily mounted file systems, such as NFS file system mounts. For all removable storage media, use the /media/ directory. Automatically detected removable media is mounted in the /media directory.
SWhat do I do now I can't access the drive I don't think do I press mount?
ZYou have to mount it to access it
Hmake sure you select
no update of file access times and click more and add 
Jso, what would you people recommend as a desktop that's good for gaming? I've been using the ublue version of Silverblue for about a year and loved it, but I was thinking on trying KDE now that Plasma 6 is coming. But IDK if I should install Bazzite, or Kinoite.
SI got PTSD seeing that avatar
