The Apple religious nutjobs like Your Name have no concept of what every
other operating system not from Apple has, which is the concept that you
can put anything you want anywhere you damn well want to put it.

Even when you're in the real world (i.e., Linux is in the real world) and
even though Apple says their operating systems don't work in the real
world.

To be fair to Apple, Apple's operating systems are written exclusively for
people who have absolutely zero technical knowledge, and hence no
experience with putting data wherever YOU want to put your data.

Since Apple operating systems are made, essentially, for people who know
nothing about computers, it makes sense that Apple spectacularly constrains
where your data can go. Everything has to stay inside the walled garden.

But the OP is coming from Linux world, where Linux owners aren't ignorant
of computers like Apple owners tend to be (naive owners are whom Apple
advertises to, if you witness their ads for "emoji" being the biggest thing
they can put into the iOS 17.4 operating system and "yellow" colors being
the best they can do for the iPhone 14 hardware).

Apple's own advertisements prove Apple thinks its own customer is naive.
And they are.

But the OP isn't naive. He can choose wherever he wants to put his data.
Apple coders don't know how to code software that works in the real world.

But I've done everything the OP wants to do with Linux so it can be done.
(It just has been years since I've done it as those images are mine but old).

Sentient plasmoids are a gas.
