Is /media still needed by anything?
Yes, I think udisks (v1) still mounts stuff there.
There's no big difference between typing
# ls /run/media/spinymouse/INTENSO
and
# ls /media/spinymouse/INTENSO
Then `rm /media` and create the symlink yourself.
I wonder if it's possible to use $HOME for the softlink?
Not directly, but you can have ~/media → /run/media/spinymouse.
IMO an USB stick etc. should be auto-mounted at /media, I prefer to type /media/INTENSO only.
It's certainly more convenient – but there's still tab-completion, so it's not too bad now. AFAIK, the change was made for security/privacy reasons, though. Fedora is trying to have multi-seat working transparently, and I think they don't want user A to see user B's mounted disks. -- Mantas Mikulėnas
