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

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'

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.

Thnak You.

Yeah, but just because this problem exists on reddit, it doen't mean we have inherit those bad traits from reddit, right?

But, In the end there is nothing stops people from creating communites. So, Yeah.

But won't it be a good thing to create another community after an already existing community gone bad instead having multiple at the same time?

Also won't there will be an fragmentation of users issue? Won't it lead to not a single community grows big because it's users are scattered across different instances?

I thought it will be like various communities will be on various instances and lemmy connects them, not a single community scattered across multiple instances.

Thank You for the suggestion.

Because I still Don't know the difference between hardlinks and softlinks and symlinks 😅

My bad bro just noticed. It would have been helpful if just pointed that out instead of name calling. I noticed the pun bro.

I don't have any idea man, It seems that you are indicating that I put something bad as title. But I thought it's not a wrong title as I'm in fact asking about deleting timeshift snapshots. Seriously have no idea.

Also I know English but I'm not used to speak (type) English.

Edit: Just now understood. Thank You.
