  1. Find yourself a good explainer on the linux directory structure. Get a better understanding of how / relates to the rest of it, and what some sub directories are for.

  2. Use what you've learned from step 1 to figure out where would be a good place to mount a thumb drive.

  3. Look up the 'mount' command and it's options.

  4. Use information gleaned from steps 1-3 to mount thumb drive.

  5. Look up the 'cp' and 'mv' commands, study their options.

  6. Use the information gleaned from steps 1-5 to move or copy data.

  7. I think you have a /data folder on /dev/nvme0n1p2 now, you might revisit that at a later date.

Use a filemanager. It'll do most of the heavy lifting automatically. Mount, copy, unmount etc.

There's not that much to learn. KDE uses Dolphin as it's file manager and it should automatically mount your thumdrives.

Which tutorial?

That should happen automatically - it’s built in to KDE and GNOME and Xfce. Given you are using KDE you just open it in Dolphin, your file manager, as covered previously:

Mark the file, copy the file and paste the file, share is maybe for email/chat IDK and so on. :smiley:

"Share" would be for a Bluetooth connection, not a USB connection.

This is the same under Windows and macOS.

Insert USB drive into USB port. Open USB drive in file manager. Copy files over. Unmount ("eject"/"safely remove") USB device. Remove USB drive from USB port.
