Storage devices in Linux are handled very differently compared to other platforms. In this chapter, we have gone over the ins and outs of media, including how to format, mount, and add extra storage. We also took a look at the Disk Usage Analyzer, which is useful to determine where your storage is being consumed, so you can best make a decision on how to clean up unused files and reclaim valuable space.

In the next chapter, we'll finally take a look at package management and learn how to install new applications to extend Mint even further. The topics discussed in the next stage of our adventure will include installing new software packages, removing software packages, installing updates, as well as what makes software management different in Mint compared to other platforms.
