I mount extra storage under /mnt/ and store stuff like media in there.

And make symlinks for large collections, like ~/photos -> /mnt/nas/photos

Interesting, are you accessing files directly on the NAS or something like that?

You want the big files to live on the NAS, but be navigable from your home dir for convenience and to discourage saving to the local disk.

Oh I see, you mean you mount the NAS storage into /home?

Not quite - He’s saying to mount the NAS under /mnt/ and to create a symlink under /home/ to go directly to /mnt/nas/photos

If you’re on KDE Plasma / Dolphin, this can be done here:

and put something like this in there

This will create a folder that goes directly to /mnt/nas/pictures, but you can put it anywhere.

A bit offtopic:

What theme is that? I was woundering why you would put windows screenshots under a comment about dolphin for a second.

Haha, it’s PlasmaXDark - store.kde.org/p/1367172

I genuinely like the look and feel of Windows.
