  You call that “learning code”? What are you, an AI tech bro?

    Is terminal code not…code?

      Is terminal code not…code?

      N-no?

      Its a program/command called mount that takes in command line arguments. The program is documented (in overwhelming detail) in the manual which is accessible online or using the program man (man mount)

      The reason someone would recommened that command over the GUI is its universally installed on all Linux machines. OP said they were using Linux Mint. There are several Linux Mint distributions with different Desktop Managers (MATE/Cinnamon/Xfce) that all have different workflows of mounting an ISO file. mount is universal.

      This is just invoking a command, it’s basically the same as double-clicking a .exe in Windows, just without a mouse. There’s no need to “learn coding” to do this. Coding involves complex logic; this doesn’t.

      The biggest put off to Linux is the absolute shit community it has

      Have you ever given it a shot? Most Linux users I’ve encountered are very friendly. Yes, there are some boards (like Arch forums) where people get pissy at noobs; however Arch isn’t a noob-friendly distro, in contrast to Mint/openSUSE etc.

      Attitude matters as well; if you start off by shitting on stuff you have limited knowledge of, you won’t get a friendly response.

      Commands are normally not considered “code” on their own. Someone who just runs commands on their computer to get a few operations done will normally not learn any programming constructs or concepts. If you’re doing shell scripting that usually crosses the line into code as you’d be using if statements, for loops, etc, which you normally don’t use if you’re just moving files around or whatever in the shell.

      Ah right, in the times of MS-DOS, every computer user was a programmer… /s

        Ms-dos came with a manual.

  All new things will require some learning and getting used to. If you think that is crazy you should see how to get windows to only search for local files

    Or you could search in file explorer.

      Or use Everything, which is a lot fsster.

    Dude inise Linux, have a long time…windows is just easier. Then Mac after that and then Linux. The whole community wants everyone to switch to Linux but then screams at you because you don’t want to type 3 paragraphs in a terminal to get one program to open.

    If you want to search only local files for windows. You just go that file and search.

  Of the two comments explanation how to do it, one using terminal and other UI, this one is shorter and will work on any Linux. The UI method is more complicated and will only work in a specific distro with specific DE.

  So year, you should learn to code.

    How so? You open the folder then click “search” after typing in what you are looking for

      In my DE I don’t have folders. Not all DEs use desktop icons or start menu with directories. I can open Nautilus manually but it can be completely different than your file explorer. Searching can work in a different way and opening ISO images can work in a different way. mount always works the same.
