Yes I can see that's very convenient for seeing your drives. 😜
That's why grep also exists 😒.
Yes, grep is cool, but I use/need it so rarely, I can never remember the syntax.
My system has functioned so reliably for years, that I hardly ever need to do any fixing or configuration.
The only need for maintenance, is basically hardware upgrades. 👍 Pretty amazing IMO. 😀
Start using a more "terminal heavy" distro, you'll learn the syntax by hart 😂.
Or just try and do more of the things you usually do with a GUI, over the terminal. I initially learned that so many things are just better done over the terminal. Why? Cuz the GUI doesn't usually have all of the options. This is usually not the case with Windows because almost everything is GUI based, Windows doesn't actually have an equivalent of what the terminal is in UNIX like OSes. That's why it has the CMD/PS/WSL mess that it has now. The combo of the three of them tend to replace what the terminal is in UNIX like OSes.
In the end, even they admitted (not publically of course) that true power comes from using a terminal/command line based tools. You can specify to do almost any combo of switches, something that a GUI can almost never do, especially with complex programs, like let's say, ffmpeg. Can you imagine how complicated a GUI would be if every possible combo of command line arguments can be made with said GUI? It'll be better off to just use the terminal, lol 😂.
I very rarely need to do anything in the terminal that takes more than a couple of minutes. I grew up with terminal based systems, and IMO nothing will ever beat the Amiga in clever design and nice terminal with way more intuitive commands. I never really liked Unix, and Linux is essentially like Unix when you use the Terminal.
I've been using computers since 1979, so I admit I don't play with them like I used to.
Yeah, I get it, neither do I. Time is limited, real life comes first, work, family and all that.
Everything should be mounted in fstab. Post your cat /etc/fstab.
I'm betting it's pretty easy to read.
Devices you mount after startup like external USB don't show up in fstab do they?
No and since systemd you actually can have an empty fstab file too (booting via solely automounting is possible)
No, their mount points are usually in
/run/media/[username]/[partition_label]... or if it doesn't have a label, the UUID of the partition.Yes, I know, but that's not automatic, and automatic mount-points vary for removable drives based on DE and distro.
Of course you have to filter out filesystems without a format like ext*, ntfs or FAT as they don't represent external disks.
mountalso doesn't let you see unmounted devices, that's why I uselsblkThat's a very large amount of things to show up. Maybe use lsblk instead? Reminds me of snaps.
I just removed snapd and snapd-glib and the list is 3 lines shorter.
OK I have something called snapd, which I may want to remove.
extra/snapd 2.61.1-1 [installed]
Service and tools for management of snap packages.
I don't have Ubuntu snap, or anything called snaps installed. I'm using Manjaro, but if snap was there originally I have removed it. No way I'd use that.
lsblk is better, but still a bit confusing:
What's the weirdo "ââ" for? It would look 10 times better without.
Edit:
Ah apparently a terminal character compatibility problem, it's supposed to be a graphics character showing indentation. 🤷♀️
