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.
