Cannot mount smb shared drive from the router on my Pop!_OS system. Can someone give me some assistance?
Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I’m getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven’t figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP....

Some recent experiences with KDE Wayland on a NVIDIA 3070TI
I’ve dipped my toes into the Wayland waters a few times of the past years, and I’ve always been immediately impressed and jealous of the buttery smooth performance, only to come crashing down to Earth with the severe showstoppers and bugs when using a NVIDIA based card....
Any way to flatpak your way to MS's AVD client?

The new drive is an nvme WD black SN770. I have the same one running just fine on an optiplex dell mini running endeavourOS. Zero...

Why if we see fork, snap always the problem : Canonical LXD forked... (news.ycombinator.com)
“Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped.

How bad is battery life on Linux laptop?
I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?...
