Starting to evaluate kde-linux on bare metal, just want to make sure that setting up persistent mount points in /mnt is the official the way to go. Or will /mnt get wiped eventually with all the fancy immutable filesystem setup going on in KDE-Linux (which I don’t understand yet).
/ is read-write; only /usr is read-only. So if you want to create /mnt, that’s totally fine, and it won’t be touched.
Note that the standard location for external volumes to be mounted is /run/media/[username].

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
This standard consists of a set of requirements and guidelines for file and directory placement under UNIX-like operating systems. The guidelines are intended to support interoperability of applications, system administration tools, development tools, and scripts as well as greater uniformity of documentation for these systems.
3.11 /media : Mount point for removable media
3.12 /mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem
See these sections Here.

What about removable media which are supposed to be mounted at boot time / system wide? Is the official stance to mount them to /run/media?
I think it’s inelegant that this stuff is buried in the /run hierarchy by default.
