Why though?

The filesystem is organized to store data by its type, not by the physical storage. In DOS/Windows you stick to separate "disks", but not in Unix-like OSes. This approach is inconvenient in case of removable media, that's why /media exists. And /mnt is not suited for any particular purpose, just for the case when you need to manually mount some filesystem to perform occasional actions, that normally never happens.

Just media files, downloads, images , music kinda stuff.

That's what usually goes to /home/<username>. Maybe mount that device directly to /home? Or, if you want to extend your existent /home partition, use LVM or btrfs to join partitions from various drives. Or mount the partition to some subdirectory of /home/<username>, or even split it and mount its parts to /home/<username>/Downloads, /home/<username>/Movies etc. So you keep the logic of filesystem layout and don't need to remember where you saved some file (in /home/<username>/Downloads or in /whatever-mountpoint-you-use/downloads).

/mnt is not for everything, it is a temporary mount point. For fixed drives that are constantly mounted you should use another location (that could be anywhere in the filesystem tree).

Mount them where you need. Not /mnt and not /media. Maybe /var or its subdirectory, or /srv, or /opt depending on what kind of data you want to store on that partition.

A bit too late. 20 years ago this would be great. (I started 12 years ago, used it for couple of hobby projects.)

That's why I wrote this. There's a chance that the developer will read my comment and improve animations.

Wolves move very unrealistically.

And not only did everything “just work” flawlessly, but it’s so much faster and more polished than I ever knew Linux to be!

Congrats, you are very lucky. But try to survive couple of version upgrades before recommending it to noobs.

You have to replace these lines with something similar to this (change libaacs to libgcrypt everywhere). Then run autoreconf -iv (you must have autoconf installed). It will create a new ./configure script which will work if you did everything correctly.

Refer to documentation.

Take a look at Dart+Flutter.

Python would be OK. Ruby is nearly dead nowadays. JS itself is used rarely, better consider using TS (however I don't recommend using them for anything other than web frontend). Go is a great language but it's unpopular in GUI development.
