it’s a swole doge vs cheems meme
on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads “Here’s the information. What do you wish to do?”
on crying cheems side, there’s popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, “let’s add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you.”
Just get a distro which ships them by default. I am once again gonna shill Garuda Linux - feels like I do this a couple of times each week.
I may eventually check that out. I was hoping to use a basic version of Linux then configure it for gaming myself to learn a bit, but am quickly realizing that Linux is still as absolutely unfriendly and unusable as it was 20 years ago.
@Phanlix @Holzkohlen Sorry but I can’t agree with you on the user friendly side. KDE and Gnome ( to name a few ) have made incredible advancements on that side. While its true some commands are still required, once you get used GNU/Linux imo is better than Windows ( I love being able to install lots of software from one single place, the package manager ).
You should take small steps, dont try to rush your learning experience, enjoy it. If you want to become proficient with a completly different ideology of an OS as Linux is compared to Windows… dont even try Linux, you are going to suffer
How do you map a network drive? I’ve literally put 8 hours of my fucking life trying to figure it out and I can’t get it to work. It’s a must have thing for me to stay in Linux.
@Phanlix I guess you want to mount it so it can be accessed. In that case you need to know what type of protocol its using. Im going to make a guess and say samba.
In that case you need to search for samba documentation for your distro, funny right? Many steps… but not complex.
I believe you said you were using Fedora, then once again Im guessing, you are using Gnome.
Gnome means Nautilus is your file explorer’s name.
The following link is about how to add it on Nautilus, for the smbclient package you should search whats the Fedora equivalent.

Edit: Fedora packages added, can’t confirm sorry
dnf install samba samba-common samba-client

Funny enough I’ve been googling for hours and came across half a dozen tutorials on this and none have worked I’ll let you know if this does
@Phanlix Hope it does ^^
And don’t get frustrated, take this as a way to learn new things. You always have Windows or MacOS, but at least give Linux a try, there are some incredible people who make guides from which you can learn lots of things in the Linux community.
The Arch Wiki is a very good source, even if its for Arch you can apply some of its knowledge to other distros
Lol it didn’t work.
I’m done. Linux is trash. Can’t even do something out of the box that windows has been doing since windows 2000.
I can get this working on Mac, windows and android. Linux has no excuses
@Phanlix Well thats sad. Probably if you could show the error someone more experienced than me in gnome or fedora could help.
Can I recommend you to switch to another distro ( for what I just read from other user, PopOS seems to be good for newbies ) or DE? KDE is a DE which look very similar to Windows and I had 0 problem mounting my samba and nfs drives.
OK that’s just user error: I want to do what experts are doing but it isn’t easy. Why are these experts so elitist! Cry me a river.
There are a lot of pre-made solutions that are user friendly smh
Name them. Because nothing I can find on any forum is working.
It’s funny you have to be an expert to get basic functionality lol
