  • I have Linux dual booting on my machine. No it isn’t there yet. I’m tech savvy but still it has issues where I prefer to use windows.

    I keep going back hoping it will work.

    For example a Simple task that has an issue for me, in KDE I browse to watch videos on my network share. Double click to open but none of the video players can see the file. Works fine on gnome, but not on KDE. This isn’t something I should be dealing with in 2025.












  • TBi@lemmy.worldtoLinux@lemmy.mlDo you use Gnome or KDE Plasma?

    GNOME because it just works better with network shares. Really wanted to use KDE but I use a lot of network shares and it just annoyed me.

    In KDE I open a network folder in the file browser, double click a video and VLC can’t see it because it uses a different sharing protocol.

    On GNOME it just works seamlessly.

    I know I can fix it in command line, but I don’t want to. I tried the KDE fuse plug in but that had other issues.
