Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that’s the case what’s the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what’s the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

    /mnt is not for everything, it is a temporary mount point.

    Even if I mount fixed drives on /mnt, there won’t be any problems, right ?

      Technically, no. Until you want to mount something but find /mnt is busy or simply forget about this and mount something there, losing access to previously mounted stuff. The only problem is that you have to remember which mountpoint you use for particular filesystem, while the FHS is designed to avoid this and abstract from physical devices as much as possible.

        Thanks. I guess I’ll make something like /Disks
