Comment on Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z

Drive letters. How quaint.
The Linux approach did take some getting used to, of course, but mounting drives to folders just makes too much sense. The only qualm I’ve had with it is if the drive doesn’t get mounted and stuff gets written to that folder, which, AFAIK, isn’t possible in windows.
Also, tbf (and balanced), windows also supports mounting drives to folders.
I have to admit that growing up on windows made it really confusing this past week when I installed a new hard drive and had to add it to my steam library. I have to create a partition? And “mount” it? Using the terminal and commands??? Then after following tutorials for that I discovered Bazzite comes with a disk manager which makes it much easier.
