I knew people who worked 50/60 hour weeks, and they had this exact mindset. Like…?

Just getting us peasants prepared to not have air travel available to us.

Like, actual mass protesting? The only problem is people being so brainwashed that they don’t realize they have the power AND numbers.

Same energy, basically…

So, either 90% of our admin is in on the coup and just doing little grand standing actions like “refusing DOGE”, or they refused and the Russians found out about their families and sent a strongly worded letter saying it’d be a shame if something happened to their family.

I can see option two being the more likely case, but the cynic in me is saying these people are all in on it and there will be no one but the peasants to fight for their rights.

I appreciate you for trying, but my Windows has never had that option turned on. :(

I’ve tried searching for an answer before giving up, but they usually include going into the terminal and running commands or editing this file over here in your system settings.

I may be more comfortable with Linux now, and prefer it, but that’s mainly because of how stable it has been since I’ve tried moving over full time. Well, that and KDE is a damn fine desktop environment!

I don’t like to run the random commands any more because when I did that as a newbie, it almost always blew up in my face. Granted, I know better now, but that’s mainly really set the precedent for how far I am willing to go to get the OS to do what I’m wanting. I drew that line at command line or system file editing. :/

Now, I do remember trying to disable KDE wallet on a VM I was running to try it out one time. Yeah, it did mess things up, so I stopped doing that too! Haha! Great memory unlock, thank you! xD

Mine is set up that way, but the issue is when I go to click the folder that we added to places, on next boot, it will ask for my password to mount it.

I use the NAS for storage and backups, while running a program on the desktop that will also upload those files to the cloud. The program isn’t able to see the path on boot, because the NAS isn’t mounted on login.

It’s doable I’m sure, but if it is editing some config file somewhere or with some terminal command, I’m going to just shrug and move on because that’s quite silly in my opinion.

And yes, it is samba, but it’s the only thing I’ve used since it was set like that at default. Why would I look into other ways if it’s working just fine, exactly?

So, I looked into KDE PM, and I guess it would have been more helpful to explain that these drives were made on Windows, and has data that I can not afford to move into a new drive at this moment. So in the mean time I am trying to work between Windows and Linux when one doesn’t do what I’m needing in the moment.

When I double click the ntfs partition in the window, it brings up a partition properties window. At the bottom of this window, I can see the flags section. One is “bios-grub” and the other is “boot”. If I tick the boot option, will that make it auto mount?

Thank you! I’m actually going to try this right now! I believe I used YaST to try this, but not KDE. I’ll report back!

Exactly. The way I understand it, if they even still teach computer classes in most states, it would be under Windows anyway with maybe a Mac or Linux computer somewhere for those that dare.

Using Linux is awesome, and I fucking love it. It still has its issues that we can actually fix, unlike in Windows where they can change it to a more shitty experience and our opinions won’t matter.

Some people just get way too gatekeepy for some reason, and it’s been like that for so long that I was a kid and they would still have those rude attitudes towards new users.

It was the first distro that got me to really want to stay on it. It’s literally almost perfect. It figures that I would want to stay on a more nuanced distro than I am probably knowledgeable to use, but it’s been so stable since I installed it. :,)

I agree. It’s a part of the conversation I always have when I’m talking about Linux in person with someone. I find it both really fucking awesome, but also kind of a bad thing in the sense of “which distro would you recommend” turns into a thesis. x)

Yeah, another issue is the download center types because they would use those and possibly download a flatpak only version and never know what was preventing them from whatever task they were trying to do. They wouldn’t understand the difference between a flatpak or a .deb install.

Read through the comments on this very thread to add to those counts.

It’s okay though. This always happens when people have even a hint of Linux issues. It’s hard to be enthusiastic in a hostile community that just refuses to see that issues are still issues.

In a meme community for crying out loud.

I agree. It was a niche scenario.

Sorry. You said I contrived when it is in fact a real scenario I have actually faced, so I kind of just moved on.

I reread it, and I will say that you are right. It’s not a common scenario.

This is also a Linux meme community. It’s okay. I love Linux too.

I was not saying intuitive to mean windows like. I was using it as measurement of how easy it feels to learn on windows where most things are in just about plain English without as much of the technobabble.

Now that I’m more comfortable with Linux, the technobabble is at least understandable to the point that I can be a little more confident in how I navigate the computer and what not to do.

And you are right, of course. I am more comfortable with Windows, but that also gives me a little more insight into how Linux could be the absolute best of all worlds with a little conversation about the pain points and how they could be improved quite significantly.

It seems way too many people are the exact rude people I was talking about in the original comment. It’s a meme community. Your life is not on the line for Linux. I love it too.

I’m sorry that I have upset you with my comments. Nowhere did I say that Windows is great, or better than Linux.

This is a meme about Linux. I’m talking about and taking the piss out of Linux.

Windows has its issues, macOS has its issues, and so does Linux.

The best part about Linux, though, is that we can actively make it better thanks to constructive criticism and thorough feedback. You can’t really do that on the other two, so, let me voice my gripes about it in a Linux meme community perhaps?

Somehow this conversation with the rest of the users here in this thread have turned into some weird fanboy argument, so I want to go ahead and apologize for upsetting you with my comments.

Nowhere did I say Windows was better than Linux. I’ve actually stated many times that I love Linux. This is a meme for Linux, therefore I’m talking and taking the piss out of Linux.

These are real world issues that I’ve encountered myself, and seen others encounter. Just because it works for you, does not mean Linux is infallible. Windows isn’t. macOS isn’t.

I use KDE!

I’ve looked into this before , so in all seriousness, what options would I choose to make it auto mount without asking for a password?

I see the box for no automatic mount, but I don’t see one that is for auto mounting? I’m assuming the don’t prevent boot… option is pretty self explanatory.
