Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    It’s in our interest to have good usability to encourage Linux use for a broader range of people. Mounting needs to be discoverable, and done in a few clicks. Command line, and typing magic words into fstab is a definite no-no for people who never work that way for everything else they do.

    The strange thing is, why did KDE miss this critical step for backups?

      I’m swiftly moving into the sparsely populated camp which holds that it’s not actually in our interests. Maybe the bell labs people were the good path and were walking parcs bad path now. We’re gonna find out for sure!

      Idk how kde missed it, they’re probably taking fixes, why not whip something up?
