I have a laptop that spends 90% of it's time on a single network, and a server with several shares where I store files, like pictures.

For example I have my fstab configured with this line:

//192.168.224.45/Pictures /home/jediwan/Pictures cifs credentials=/home/jediwan/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,x-systemd.automount 0 0

And it works great as long as I'm on the same network. But if I'm not on my main network the PC struggles to load GNOME and eventually crashes. What do?

EDIT: Adding nofail worked

The OS will wait until the mount is successful with these settings, which is why GNOME doesn't load. Try adding nofail to your options. It should continue with the boot process if you are out of the network with that option set. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#External_devices)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
