I work over 2 hours away each way by bus or 20 minute drive. I’m gonna drive. Not everyone has the option.

Plasma 6 is coming out soon. Not sure if it addressed any of your issues though.

My hacky way was to make sure group ID on each computer matches and have the directory writable by the group. I also make sure user ID is different so I can identify who created it. It was easy for me because I only have to worry about 2 computers plus my NAS.

I add them to fstab so it shows up in Thunar/Dolphin unmounted. Then I believe I used to just run mount path in the terminal.

Urxvt seemed to be the fastest of them all. Definitely my favourite.

Honestly, in that case, I can’t recommend Arch to those users. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu for beginners and there’s so much documentation.

It’s really not that hard to follow the wiki to install Arch. I feel like there’s a lot of maintaining to do when using Arch, so you might as well get used to the terminal. It wasn’t really an issue when I was using it daily, but has become a chore now that I boot up my laptop once or twice a month.

Funnily enough, I’m always on my Steam Deck now and that is based on Arch, too.
