    I don’t think this is a bad question at all, personally I would prefer to mount the drive once and symlink folders for a couple reasons:

    1. It’s easier to automate
    2. it’s theoretically faster (to initialize) as symlinks are effectively free
    3. I personally like symlink syntax more than mount syntax :P

    One possible con to symlinks is that certain (linux native) software can misbehave when it has to interact with them, but this is a fairly uncommon issue. Stuff ran through wine or proton should support them just fine, as they are abstracted away.
