Discovery on Linux. Article Guide (2026)

instead of remembering how to use mnt, u can also just open with `Ark` archive program the iso file and extract it as it is through GUI interface

I would rather we didn't make assumptions about what desktop environment and graphical tools people uses and that people learned the agnostic approach of using utilities that everyone should already be familiar with since they're there regardless of userspace or distribution choice

@Sally , I can agree with it as having merit of wisdom. and may be good idea to put `mnt` command as default choice into article itself too may be. I'll mention it there at least for sure.

it's also twice the storage needed unless you extract the contents of the ISO onto a ramdisk, just mount it, that's what ISOs are for.

i am having hard time agreeing with the rest though. Saving 500megobytes of space in order to use mnt over ark dearchiver? Really?
Are we in 2000 year when 500 megobytes were a significant amount? Or we still have HDDs which are super slow, and not using super Fast SSDs for which dearchiving is 2 seconds operation?
Today is 2026 year, and people can spare such amount of space easily in order to avoid remembering difficult commands like working with `mnt`

and if u ran out of space, just use `ncdu` to find it again for easy clean up of trash from Downloads or anything else
