Hey folks! I'm just getting started with Linux, using Fedora Workstation. I wanted to create a separate partition for my personal files, kind of like a D: drive on Windows, so I wouldn't lose anything if my system crashes. I used GParted to set up a Btrfs partition, but once I mounted it, it appears as read-only. I'm not really sure what went wrong or how to fix it. Any advice would be super helpful!

Are you certain it's truly set to read-only? It might just be that your user account lacks the permissions to write in that directory. You can try using commands like `chown`, `chgrp`, and `chmod` to modify the ownership and permissions. What you need to change depends on which users you want to grant access to that directory.
I only have one user and it's the admin; how do I set it up?
How do I check that? I can't create or copy files into it. Could you help me with the commands?
