I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    OK, one I encountered recently is mounting a network share on user login.

    On Windows this required going into My Computer and clicking “Map network drive” then following the prompts.

    On Linux this required; adding an entry to fstab then, because the mount needs to occur after network stack initialization but before the user attempts to access the drive, I needed to noauto the fstab entry and create a systemd service using After=network-online.target which actually performs the mount.

      Gotcha. Yeah, that does sound like it’s a bit easier in windows, fair enough. Still, I’ll take a plaintext config file over searching through gui menus any day of the week. But that’s just preference and what I’m used to.
