You can say goodbye to these legacy File Explorer options on Windows 11

I have like 4 drives at minimum and knowing where I am at a glance is nice, is there no hope
Maybe Linux has an alternative way to show drives. Idk I haven’t tried Linux.
Linux has a very different file-structure, which is the way your files are organized on a system. It’s a bit weird at first, but once you get used to it makes a lot of sense. A second drive can often be found at /mnt/DRIVENAME or /media/DRIVENAME. But they show up in the file manager in a list anyhow.
Linux doesn’t show drive letters because it doesn’t use drive letters at all. Instead, everything is a file off of the root directory.
It… doesn’t? Unless you mean line /dev/sda1, but that’s not really the same thing. On Linux you can theoretically mount any drive anywhere you want under the root, so you might have your music on /mnt/music, or /media/music/ or you could mount it at /home/<username>/music.
Mine is on a drive called Stuff I have mounted at /mnt/Stuff/, I also have a symlink in my home directory from /mnt/Stuff/music/ to /home/<username>/music, which seamlessly makes it appear that it’s there as well.
Really it’s far more convenient than arbitrary drive letters!
Linux doesn’t have drive letters. They use an entirely different system, where everything is a file.
