Tips

To create symlinks in Linux Mint Cinnamon: In the file manager (Nemo) open the View menu > Extra Pane.

Open the Desktop folder in one pane, and the source folder in the other pane. Click on the folder or file you want to symlink.

Hold down SHIFT-CTRL and drag the folder to the other pane. A symlink will be magically created.
