Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

    What’s your desktop environment? On KDE you can just enter smb://serverhost/path in the Dolphin navigation bar and it will open it.

      Haha, you can! But other programs which don’t have built in network share support can’t use those. Also a bit annoyed by this, but it’s a easy fix.

        Yes, that’s still a bit annoying unfortunately.

        Editing the fstab to properly mount a network share also currently has no UI available in KDE and has to be done manually.
