Nothing was ever wrong with calling them “virtual assistants” - at least with them you’re conditioned to have a low bar of expectations. So if it performs past expectations, you’ll be excited, lol.

Technically yes it should but you’d need to check if your second drive needs 12v or not. Idk that currency but this is an inexpensive option to try.
I don’t suggest continuing this setup, apart from being Jann (which I am all too familiar with) you are better off using usb, or finding an external SATA eSATA compatible dock with what’s called a SATA multiplexer, or sata expander, or sata port multiplier. It allows you to split one sata port into multiple. And your computer should see multiple drives attached on the other side. This also allows you to do some bare minimum (imo required) software raid on your laptop. I’d look into that. I wouldn’t worry about drive throughput unless you use SSDs. Then again. You have a bargain build so this is better than nothing :)
These external sata bays with this multiplexer can also be jury-rigged using old server hardware, and flat metal pieces to hold the drives. This requires more research and I’m in mobile so I can’t help with that.
Something like this would probably make your life a little easier. Only trouble then is finding a power supply for your drives. Any pc power supply will work but you need to make sure you trigger the PSU before booting the laptop. There are guides for that, “turn on PSU without computer”. Also make sure the “sata multiplier” below actually comes with a power supply.
Then be content. Tell your best friend what you need to say.
If you want to have a single window for multiple shells or you want to replace use of tmux in an SSH context, Zellij is exactly that. The plus side is if you work remote from your machine, an ssh connection will feel faster than a VNC session to the same machine. IMO 100% a difference you can feel if you already remote to your work desktop.
I haven’t seriously used it yet but I should. If you’re a fan of text environments it’s worth a shot. I’m still rocking multiple putty windows like a caveman.
Because they promised and continue to deliver more on Fairphones 2&3
They hold "system binaries" meant for root user. It's not a hard distinction but many if not most Linux fundamentals have their roots in very early computing, mainframes, Bell and Xerox, and this good idea has been carried into the here&now. Not sure about the provenance of this one, but it makes sense. isn't /mnt /media different between distros? These aren't hard and fast rules - some distros choose to keep files elsewhere from the "standard".
/bin and /usr/bin, one is typically a symbolic link to another - they used to be stored on disks of different size, cost, and speed.
