just switched to Linux for the first time this week!
There are dozens of us, dozens!
Twitter sent me to Mastodon. Reddit sent me to Lemmy. Windows has sent me to Linux. These things are basically promoting the better versions of themselves by becoming shittier versions of themselves.
Same here. But I had always been on Linux since I was a kid because Ubuntu (Gnome 2 days) was very pretty compared to Windows XP to me.
One of us! One of us! One of us!
How much searching did you have to do? Be honest. Ever try to mount a network share permanently yet?
As someone on Manjaro for over a year, I did have a few searches, but they were rare and mostly related to obscure things I needed.
Not even close to the "search a fix every 10 minutes" experience I was promised.
No searching at all. I got a new computer last month.
And how would a new user know to find this specific app in the repo? Have you ever actually searched "how to permanently mount a network dive in Linux"? I didn't see a single one saying dolphin.
I don't know how to mount a network drive in Windows. So what's your point?
btw I just searched how to do it in KDE. First result is a Reddit thread explaining how to do it in Dolphin.
I did, and it was fairly straightforward according to the documentation I found. This was a couple of years ago but I’m pretty sure I needed to figure out how to use nano, then type some magic words into fstab along with the IP and password, and I haven’t had to mess with it ever since.
