    1. Yes, if you start with GNOME and later install Plasma, you can switch between them on the login screen. However, if you’re a noon, I would recommend starting with GNOME, as it’s easy to use.
    2. Your drives should be mounted by default on distros such as Fedora GNOME. The main reason apps can’t see other drives us because you installed the app in question via flatpak, which has reduced permissions for things such as storage in the name of ‘security’
    3. Your distro should have official repositories, which are useful for installing system apps and apps you want to have storage access. Everything else can be downloaded from flatpak, although it does use more storage space as each app is isolated from the system and thus can’t share common dependencies.
    4. Unfortunately I don’t know of such a guide, but GNOME as a DE is pretty intuitive for new users and I’m always happy to answer your questions
