    This is one of my biggest gripes stopping me from switching to Linux. I just can’t give-up windows’ partitions. I find Unix/Linux file system to be incompatible with how I like storing my files.

      You can just create partitions and mount them at whatever path you like.

      Hell, you can do /c/not/sure/why/you/like/this/better/clownfarts_penis

        When you run git-bash from an install of the git suite, that’s a valid pathname.

        Oh. Just on my system?

        I like partitions to be at the root of my file system. And dedicate each one to a specific use. And even dedicate a separate hard drive for my personal files. When in need of transfer or repairs just move this drive to another PC and carry on the work while the former PC gets repaired or nuked.

          You can absolutely do this. You can mount partitions anywhere off of /

          I have 5 drives in a system and I mount them as /storage1 through /storage5

      This image shows how the system stores it’s own stuff. Your junk will go in /home/mtchristo/whatever you want.

      If you don’t like that, you can do whatever you want. Linux will let you.

      Think of it like in Windows where you have this structure.

        That’s an old imag, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

        I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs don’t have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.
