Where did you get 16 years from? The drive says date of manufacture as 2012. 12 years is still a pretty good run for a laptop spinner though.

You probably just need to chow. The directory

If I remember correctly mnt is for static media that you expect to always be present and media is for removable media which may come and go.

Looks like it

For 2.5" SSD I'd suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.

For 3.5" spinner I'd suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.

What are the chances of an official flatpak getting maintained so us lazy folk don't need to keep up with the GitHub repo/site for when updates drop?

Edit: Also do you have any plans to add NX support?

BSD, Haiku, Plan9, RiscOS, etc. Probably mostly BSD.

Maybe just allow apt update specifically via the sudoers conf so you can cron job it to run without being prompted for user input, or just run it in cron as root.

Believe it or not... You are a nerd.

Debian is only as boring as you want it to be.
