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.

I recently switched from being a long time GNOME user over to KDE Neon. It has been a nearly flawless experience.
My biggest complaint so far is the lack of NFS support in Dolphin, which I use for my NAS. GNOME Files had native support for NFS. Now I have to manually mount from CLI and then it'll show up in Dolphin (eventually I'll setup fstab, but haven't done it yet).
How is experience with mounted samba drives?
I found that apps don’t see them easily, which is a usability problem.
Argh I found out the same thing about NFS! I was so confused!
You can still put it in FStab though, if you want it accessible on boot. :)
Yeah I'm going to do that when I use my machine next. Was just nice having it as a favorite shortcut on the side and only mounting it when I needed it.
Have you considered smb? Dolphin natively supports it.
I have both but prefer NFS over it for speed. SMB before multichannel used to choke pretty hard on Linux. It's better now, but NFS is still the better protocol.
