We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?
Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.
I hate that smb is still the standard lan filesharing protocol. I used nfs once and it kinda sucked. I just want smb but without mangled filenames. Basically I hate when I have a substandard experience because of Microsoft.
So your last words clearly concede that it’s microshaft’s fault.
Is it? Because they also blame NFS for being a suboptimale alternative.
Ah. Well I dunno, I’m not an expert. I only have my own experiences.
I love NFS. What made you dislike it? Just curious.
It works very well for me running arch on the desktop and unRAID on my NAS in the basement. NFS lets me blend my whole data pool into my file browser easily. Using the terminal on files on the NAS is chef’s kiss
My only complaint is sometimes it takes some finicky bullshit to auto-mount all the time. But I think that’s more of a problem with fstab. I don’t even remember how I fixed it last time.
Time to back up my fstab file lmao
My opinion… try to set up kerberized NFS and check back.
What. A. Pain.
I haven’t used it for years, but I thought it was a little inflexible and spooky to have it grant access based on IP addresses. I have static IPs on my LAN, but still. I also remember my system getting real fucky if the nfs share went down for some reason.
