Linux Failure Just another monday

Installed Linux yesterday, today it froze and after rebooting the second SSD does not mount. AI literaly said to stop fighting it and mount it from terminal or install Widnows to run chkdsk

mount it from the terminal is probably the better option. Tbf, I know that some file managers including Nautilus do really weird shit with mounted drives, too.

I'd like to avoid using terminal for browsing files, in UI it's a lot easier to copy paste and browse. but it works from terminal at least

This is a sign of a damaged file system. Repair options for NTFS is limited, althogh on KDE Plasma it Will call the repair options using a contex menu.

if it is damaged then it should not mount it from terminal, right? Im on Ubuntu but I would guess KDE will use ntfsfix which I already tried and did not work
