Well I wont be getting one of those shit samsung/motorala phones so not a worry.

Oh man T9! I used to do that one handed without looking back in the day I wonder if I’ll still be any good at it.

90 bucks! I almost fainted seeing a phone at a reasonable price. Thanks for the rec I think I’m gunna grab one on payday.

What one did she get? I still haven’t settled on one yet and could use some recommendations.

I have been looking at getting a flip phone and ditching this “Smart phone” bullshit altogether, I still might. I’m sick of this rug pull bullshit and no one can convince me they aren’t just going to try again.

Would you look at that? Heres one now.

Any time you point out any flaw in linux the fanboys come out to have a screech and tell you how its all your fault actually. I’ve learned you just gotta ignore them.

Hey thanks! this is actually helpful. Why KDE can’t just have this as well is a mystery but oh well I’ll try Gnome.

I hate fstab it seems needlessly complicated but I like the gui you got there. Much easier to click a button and move on with life. I’ll have to give that a go.

What desktop environment/distro are you using? It would be nice to be able to skip the fstab run around and just click a button.

Well good news freecad has a flatpak so its super easy to install on linux. you might even find it in the built in package manager. https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.freecad.FreeCAD

Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine? It’s once every boot. Everytime the machine starts you have to go to file manager and click on it before it mounts unless you modify fstab.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

Just go ahead and google mount drive on boot in linux and you can see the 1,000s of post from people having the exact issue I describe. I’ll even do it for you.

Then go ahead and google the same thing for windows and you’ll see what a non issue it is in windows because even google will assume that surely you meant linux.

Never happens unless the drive is unformatted or a format windows can’t read. And if it is unformatted you get a pop up telling you so and an offer to format it which after that point it mounts on boot everytime without any interaction needed at all from the user. If it is already formatted it just automatically assigns the next available drive letter and mounts it. Linux just does nothing until you dig around in context menus and even after you format it it still won’t auto mount until you dig around through more menus or go through the ridiculous ftsab bullshit.

Depending on your desktop environment you can, on linux as a whole no you can’t. Helpfully gnome disks has a nifty button (thats buried under a bunch of context menus) but KDE does not unless it was just added in the last year. (i had to go though a whole bunch of stupid fstab bullshit to get my drive to auto mount when I setup my bazzite install)

So many people do not understand the “auto” part of auto mount, clicking on it first is not auto mount. Auto mount means its mounted on boot not after you click on it.

I’ll say it again “auto mount” if you have to click on it first it’s not “auto” thats “access” mount.

Unless they remove local accounts all together or disable shift F10 in the OOBE this should work, it just sets up a local account through command prompt in a similar manner that lusrmrg.msc would.

That said I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they remove local accounts altogether next.

In this case the space before net won’t matter but it does make it more consistent. The space before the “/” however will matter.

If they did it would make all the bullshit I typed earlier entirely pointless, and honestly I hope its true because having to do all of the just to get a local account is ridiculous.

Hey I’m with you, at this point it seems like a losing battle to stay secure on windows and it will only get worse. But some people will want to keep using it for whatever reason. As long as I have the ability to assist them I will, freedom of choice is important even when the choice is a bad one.
