/mnt/something has root as Owner. So When I try to move something to Trash, it’s not allowing me to do
You have to change permissions or owner of that folder (not /mnt itself but the subfolder “something”).
If I’m not wrong changing permissions is enough to use gui “move to trash”, you can use chmod thru cli (man chmod
) o your gui file manager with root privileges.
If you want only your user be able to read/write to that disk, then change the owner using chown thru cli (man chown
) or again your gui file manager.
The Linux FHS does not address this, so it’s up to you where to mount it. There is no correct choice, but if you want to follow standards just mount it inside /mnt which is the nearest use-case (/media could be automatically used by your DE, so avoid it). Otherwise you can just create a custom folder in root like someone else suggested.
Take a look at FHS spec.
Edit:
On arch forum someone suggests /mnt/data
/srv
contains site-specific data which is served by this system.

Why having DRM behind a “do you want to install DRM to play media” button is seen as a bad thing? Otherwise everyone would have to use chromium.
Thank you, it makes sense.
I’ve tried to install some apps from Aurora store (denying network permission) and then I saw these requests on TrackerControl, so maybe those apps wantend to be opened by default with these links.
Different protocols? Like android’s mtp? Never had an apple device, what do they use?
I use TrackerControl (f-droid).
It’s an app that can turn off entirely internet access to an app or granurarly tweak which domains can comunicate with.
Are you using a white theme terminal? I hope it’s just an edited screenshot.
On Linux files and folders have permissions info for owner, group and everyone else. So you can set individual permissions for these.
By setting the owner to root, if you want to make your user able to read/write that folder, you must either give permissions to everyone to read/write OR assign a group to the folder, give the group permissions to read/write and add your user to that group.
If you instead set your user as the owner of the folder, you can make only your user able to read/write without other fuss.
If you are a newbie, stick to gui file manager. Can you please tell me what file manager are you using? Most of the time you can change permissions thru right click > propriety > permissions.
