Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

I've been using AutoFS and that's no longer an issue for me. How did you mount the NAS?

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

SMB mount via fstab, hadn't heard of AutoFS. That's usually how it goes, I learn about something better after going through the pain of doing it an inferior way.

Ah yes I did it like that before. At home it's not a problem since my NAS is always connected but taking my laptop outside would be problematic unless I had the VPN enabled.

i think if you have it in fstab that forces kio to wait. instead of adding to fstab i just right click and add smb to places in dolphin for a direct link. dolphin doesn't hang on load anymore, auto mounts and even sends wol, might comment it out from fstab or set noauto to see if it speeds up dolphin
