I’m on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user.

This is my favorite LLM so far. It is the largest I have managed to get working. It seems to be around 90-95% accurate when I test it on technical stuff where I know the answers. I do not know a way to verify the following. I have the standard CS books on operating systems, but this seems too specific and recent. The following...

I was daily driving Pop_OS before my System76 finally gave it up. I mostly enjoyed the experience, but when my laptop gave it up, I had to run to a big box store and grab a replacement asap. I’m now riding an HP envy touch screen fliptop and (:puke:) windows 11....
