what the actual fuck. It's based on linux right, it has a nice little terminal. Can't mount my NAS by NFS. Have to use SMB. Shitty fucking SMB which has now taken ownership of the files I've moved over and I can't work out how to work with my folders now.

that is all. screams into the void

Enable developer mode and install void linux.

Samba has always been a bit ropey. I seem to recall NFS being a bit clunky or missing certain features, but I've not used it in years - sshfs has fewer dependencies and works great in my experience. I don't have a NAS though, I use this when I want to browse files on a remote computer using my computer's graphical file-browser: just type sshfs://machinename/path/on/remote/machine in the location bar & it's pretty much as good as browsing locally.
