From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I still have no clue where permanently attached USB SSDs are supposed to be mounted. I just shove them into LVM2 and put the mapper under /mnt since putting them under /home wouldn't let other users access them.
Just mount them somewhere under
/device, so if a disk/mount fails the mounts depended on the path can´t also fail.I keep my permanent mounts at
/media/and I have a udev rule, that all auto mounted media goes there, so/mntstays empty. A funny case is that my projects BTRFS sub-volume also is mounted this way, although it is technically on the same device.
