Yeah, ironic they chose dolphin to make that point since I literally just did it in dolphin ~a month ago and it has a checkbox to set up automount for you.
Not on all distros, which again, makes the point of how confusing Linux can be to average users.. lol
I don’t think I’ve seen OpenSUSE recommended for beginners.
The vast universe of distros is definitely a confusion & intimidation factor for a lot of people. But we are talking about people who do not choose or install their own OS in the first place.
It was the first distro that got me to really want to stay on it. It’s literally almost perfect. It figures that I would want to stay on a more nuanced distro than I am probably knowledgeable to use, but it’s been so stable since I installed it. :,)
I agree. It’s a part of the conversation I always have when I’m talking about Linux in person with someone. I find it both really fucking awesome, but also kind of a bad thing in the sense of “which distro would you recommend” turns into a thesis. x)
You'd have an argument... if OpenSUSE was "average". While it's somewhat popular, it's not nearly representative of "average" linux.
I've never met a SUSE user publicly. I've met Debian and Arch users.
Just because you found one modern distro that doesn't do something doesn't mean that it's a common problem. But even then, you're coloring your argument quite silly here. The "average" user has no fucking clue what a NAS is, and wouldn't care to "mount" anything as if they had a NAS for some reason they'd likely only ever use it the web GUI for anything they did.
The "average" is really dumb comparatively to most linux power users...
This specific issue you've contrived... wouldn't ever come up for an "average" user.
I’m sorry I upset you, but the issues I’ve stated are true whether they happen to you or not.
Either way, I appreciate your input, so there’s no need for the rudeness. :)
So address nothing I've brought... but prescribe a tone to my post that wasn't there... and claim I was rude?
You must be a troll. All makes sense now.
Sorry. You said I contrived when it is in fact a real scenario I have actually faced, so I kind of just moved on.
I reread it, and I will say that you are right. It’s not a common scenario.
This is also a Linux meme community. It’s okay. I love Linux too.
