A yes, my beloved nvme1p2 partition that changes name every reboot
thats a reason to use the uuid in the fstab
Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying "just hardcore the IP bro"
I'm not hating on you, but it's an extremely flawed system where you are forced to use a direct ID mapping as a reference.
From what I'm understanding from people you can assign an alias to the UUID that sounds better?
It's more like setting a static IP. The UUID is set when you create the partition and won't change unless you force it to change.
You can also use any of the GUI utilities which can add it to your fstab.
There's a lot of things that are made way too difficult on Linux for seemingly no reason. This isn't one of them.
