    How much searching did you have to do? Be honest. Ever try to mount a network share permanently yet?

          It will be once I infiltrate all 9billion distros.

            I was like wait they aren’t all already installed by default, then I realized you confirmed it.

              It’s not automatically installed on gnome, because gnome sucks. But any KDE distro will have it, and any distro ever will have it in the repos

      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.

      1. Install open-ssh server on the old computer
      2. Copy the IP address of the old computer
      3. Paste it into Dolphin
      4. Copy paste everything

        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.
