I thought the exact same thing. It’s written like the uncanny valley of English.

I read this and was like “pffft….starcraft 2 didn’t come out in 2010 , it was waaaay later”

Then I checked and was like “Well fuck me”

Where?

In an effort to relieve her PC of constantly deluge of virus and malware, I switched my Mom over to Ubuntu in the 2000’s. She lasted a month.

The experiment ended when she called me in tears because of her silent 4 week struggle with the OS.

She couldn’t get her scanner to work reliably, and none of her “print shop” software was compatible.

I know more now than I did then, and the distros have come a long way since, but I don’t have the time to retrain her and at 70 years old, I just want her to use what she’s comfortable with, even if that means I have to occasionally scrub her PC.

If I mount it in the file manager, how do I reference that location in the terminal to say do copy operations to it?

Thank you!

This is a home NAS with one user (myself) on this Linux client. Other clients will be Windows for other users.

My NAS user has full rw permissions across the NAS shares (but not admin privs). I’m not super comfortable with this config as it strike me as too permissive to mount on the home directory. Would love to hear better approaches.

Yes, there is a chance the NAS can be down when booting the Linux pc.
