EDIT: I’m rephrasing some sentences Edit2: I gave up.

I just installed Fedora and to my surprise I can’t use my NAS.

Through a SMB share I can see everything easily enough through GUI but I can’t open any file, then I tried NFS.

With NFS I followed many tutorials to mount the shared folders, each one slightly different than the previous one, some told me to mount at /var/folder some told me to mount at /mnt/folder. I don’t understand the difference. Anyway, now I know how to mount and how to put it in fstab so everything gets mounted on boot, not ideal but I can live with that.

What every single tutorial fails to say is that I can only access those shares as administrator and every time I want to open any file I have to type my password.

What I am missing here?

This tutorial is the one I finally followed

    That sounds like a huge pain.

    Yeah I started my Linux adventures on Ubuntu but got frustrated and restarted on Mint. I’ve been setting up some home servers on old laptops I acquired for free.

    I’ve been enjoying Mint enough that I switched over my MacBook, but my desktop is still on MacOS til I figure out a couple more things.

    I will say that SyncThing is absolutely fantastic for syncing files between devices, but not useful if you only want them in one spot.
