We love to praise linux constantly and tell everyone to change to it (they should) but what are your biggest annoyances ?

Mine would be, installing software (made even more complex by flatpaks being added, among the 5 other ways there already were to install software) and probably wifi power management issues.

I hate that smb is still the standard lan filesharing protocol. I used nfs once and it kinda sucked. I just want smb but without mangled filenames. Basically I hate when I have a substandard experience because of Microsoft.

I love NFS. What made you dislike it? Just curious.

It works very well for me running arch on the desktop and unRAID on my NAS in the basement. NFS lets me blend my whole data pool into my file browser easily. Using the terminal on files on the NAS is chef's kiss

My only complaint is sometimes it takes some finicky bullshit to auto-mount all the time. But I think that's more of a problem with fstab. I don't even remember how I fixed it last time.

Time to back up my fstab file lmao

My opinion… try to set up kerberized NFS and check back.

What. A. Pain.
