Thanks, definitly positif first time experience with posting also.
I learned a lot in these comments but in this specific context:
- a flatpak app uses a base directory (mp3 player).
- I set it to my NextCloud folder.
- Now run/usr/1000 is "filled" with all my thousands of pdf from personal archive, several times per file (because multiple flatpaks).
These don't need decluttering I learned, but aren't managed by package managers either.
Ow ... this ... just realise its my Windows "legacy-skills" to unlearn ...
Although its indeed more confusing it does explain rather well I cant just "port" my habits from Windows to Linux (Debian Gnome in my case).
Also it gave me hints for more research. Thanks!
Thanks! And I will remove it from my search index to restrain from "decluttering". 👌👍
Or it comes back the same way but doesn't pose a problem either?
Thanks, this doesn't say anything tho about 2 levels deep in bullet 10. But I get anything in run/user/1000 serves the same purpose.
Ah that makes sense, I gave strawberry my Nextcloud path to scan for mp3 and add them to its library.
Choice is never a bad thing. ...
In this context maybe but overall after a certain level of possible outcomes, choice doesnt cause more happiness but anxiety and "choice-stress".
4 months now, Debian Gnome. Its on a laptop from work. Knowing what I want and how to secure things they gave me local admin rigths on Win11 to convert the device to dual boot. Slowly getting to know my way around.
When I let fsearch index from root, it counted 1.9 million files, which baffled me a lot. Before knowing the things in this thread. A typical windows install can have 50k ~ 100k files, but .... 2 million I thought it was insane.
But in this context its something like if LibreOffice Calc had an API and upon start it registers a filesystem with a 'folder' for every worksheet and a 'file' named A1, A2, B1 .... for every cell. Not real I know but a novice way of understanding.
