    I don’t think this is a bad question at all, personally I would prefer to mount the drive once and symlink folders for a couple reasons:

    1. It’s easier to automate
    2. it’s theoretically faster (to initialize) as symlinks are effectively free
    3. I personally like symlink syntax more than mount syntax :P

    One possible con to symlinks is that certain (linux native) software can misbehave when it has to interact with them, but this is a fairly uncommon issue. Stuff ran through wine or proton should support them just fine, as they are abstracted away.











  • Windows hibernation is about as broken as linux hibernation, i.e. they both mostly work most of the time, but there is good reason both hide them away by default (if you can really say linux hides anything, with these things being decided by distros and not kernel devs). It is naive to say windows has “solved” hibernation. Either you don’t use it much or have very basic hardware and software needs.

    Edit: as a side note, neither iOS nor android devices use anything similar to hibernate, so I am a bit lost with what you mean by arm causing hibernation implementation pressure.
