You didn't apply the sudo mkfs.ext4 command to the correct device. Your mount instruction should be: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage1 or, for simplicity, just use sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage1. This approach acts as a general root command solution when you're unsure of the exact path.

Bingo, we got it! You managed to install it and restart your PC, but sadly all my terminals vanished. I can only share what I know—here’s the key: on my devices list, disk and GParted appear, yet I can’t create folders there. Also, the SDD drive isn’t showing up in the device folder, which is confusing. Regarding your questions about partitioning: since I have Linux Mint 21 on the SSD, splitting it into three parts—one for Linux, two for Obs and Kdenlive—makes sense. Maybe place them on the second and third drives. For future needs, you could install MagicJack or similar tools later. What are your thoughts?

Here are the command results to check everything:
```

I've been skipping this for a while. Initially, I thought it based on the note about not using the 3-4 lines, but then your command results showed a different problem. Your drive is now auto-mounted as removable media, which can be resolved by editing fstab and running a few commands. It worked because the NVM is mounted automatically, so the HDD should also be affected. I'll handle the rest of the output in another update.

Yep, and that's totally fine. Personally, I save my OBS output to a "scrapbook" folder on my nvme, then have kdenlive render the final project output to the HDD storage drive, after which I clean my scrapbook folder. The way linux works makes this unnecessary, but looking at what you are trying to achieve, and the drive sizes you are using, I would be looking to partition your ssd slightly differently. I'll make a "fake" lsblk output then explain what has been done and why: ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi ├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 200G 0 part / └─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 1.6T 0 part /home So, 200gig is 2x enough to install your base OS*, giving you about 8-10 years worth of software "upgrades" without causing an issue. By mounting a third partition as /home, in the event something goes wrong you have isolation between your "personal files" and your "system files", you could literally format your system partition, make a fresh install, and after setting it up - everything would "still be there", from your video project files right down to your browser bookmarks and desktop background settings, it would all still be in place in /home/ladydragon. Good news is you can make this change using gparted (resize nvme0n1p2 and make a new nvme0n1p3 partition in the free space) without having to re-install anything. If this is something you are interested in doing I can make a video demonstrating it in a VM? On to the next thing: Using the nouveau driver for your nvidia card means you have to jump through many hoops to make "GPU video encoding" work. It's not the jumping that is the issue, just the fact you might have to keep doing it after system updates etc. My advice on this would be to install the proprietary nvidia driver, then once it's working your package manager should take care of it for you. Checking the Mint user forums would be the best place to find this procedure, and it will probably fix "Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.3 driver: X: loaded: modesetting " too (might be right, seems off to me tho). Other than that your seem all set to go. Yeah, nice, if I had that much ram I'd have all of kdenlive, its dependencies and the video I'm working on all stored on a "ramdisk" so all the IO calls are just "memory to memory" and it runs at the speed of light. I'd also compile firefox with the build directory on a tmpfs, just because I can .

The font size caused some issues with your documents. Now everything looks correct and works properly. You can create folders as needed, such as one named "S1" for quick access. Let me know if you need further help!

It seems you're asking about something that feels like a "favourites" list, but I need more details to understand what you're referring to. Could you clarify the context?

Sure, let me clarify further about the panel bar. When you click on a folder, it displays details like a folder named "My Computer" with a list of subfolders such as Home Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads, and Trash. You can add a new folder called "S1" to that list for quicker access.

Similar to a quick folder path lookup.
