I'm no programmer either, but switched to the penguin out of necessity, since my PC completely lost the ability to run Windows for no reason. But I vibe with KDE Plasma now, so it's not half bad.

(Someone tell me where I find my mounted devices as a folder pls, thanks)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Devices are in /dev. Bulk storage devices can be mounted anywhere on the file system, but by convention you can look up where permanently mounted drives get mounted by looking in /etc/fstab. Automatically mounted drives are usually put in /media and manually mounted devices should go in /mnt.

The devices should be in the /dev directory

Type mount in console and it will show all mount points. Or df and it will show mount points for file systems and their utilization. df -h will show usage in normal size instead of blocks, df -i will show i-node usage. If file system mounted in multiple places mount will show it serval times, while df only once.

For more info on df use man df.

the description of both commands was actually really helpful, thank you!

Not sure what folders they are usually in by default, but I set my mounted drives to be inside of the /mnt folder because I didn't like wherever they were originally mounted to.

Assuming you mean hot plugged devices (thumb drives and external drives) KDE mounts them under /media

If you are expecting them to auto mount, KDE distros often don't have that enabled by default. Though I think Kubuntu has that enabled by default now so maybe that has changed. Go to System Settings -> Hardware -> Removable Devices to adjust the automount settings defaults and per drive settings.

If you don't have automount enabled you probably will need to browse to them in Dolphin once to get KDE to mount the drive first.
