There are a few ways I can think of to do this but I’m not sure what would be the best way.
You can just mount individual drives or partitions to the corresponding location (xdg directories or otherwise). This is what I generally do.
I haven’t tried this but If you don’t want to partition the shared drives, you could make corresponding folders on the root of the drive (or anywhere really) and bind mount those folders to the corresponding location. For it to be persistent across reboots, a brief search says you can put it in fstab this way: /source /destination none defaults,bind 0 0 There is also rbind which I think is recursive but I haven’t read up on when to use it.
I haven’t tried this either and forget which is which but symbolic link or hard link may or may not be viable and would also be persistent I think.
I was hesitant for the last few years to recommend Solus. They stopped communicating with the community and there hadn’t been a new iso in a while. Software was still being updated behind the scenes but it seemed like it was dying. Now 4.4 was released a few weeks ago with short term and long term plans announced so I feel good recommending trying it. The only issue is it’s software repository isn’t as big as other distros. But I switched to Debian and have been happy with that. Probably the way to go if you are familiar with it from using Kali.
I started using Ubuntu at work with version 18.00. It worked without a hitch. Then, it updated to 20.00, and printing broke. I tried multiple “solutions” and none of them worked for my case. For literal years, I had to go to the front desk and print my shit there on the Mac which always printed without issue. Thankfully, in my case I don’t print that much so it wasn’t a huge problem, but I know for some that would be a complete deal breaker.
Cue version 22.00, and printing works again, albeit not always. My jobs get canceled periodically for no reason I can ascertain.
I had similar issues back in the mid-00s with a laptop I was trying to run Ubuntu 6.00 on. It mostly worked, but the webcam and trackpad were a lost cause to someone of my moderate abilities.
It’s shit like this that hold Linux back. I’ve been running some form of Windows since 95, and I’ve never had unsolvable hardware problems with it.
Happy Birthday Slackware, congrats! Started on Redhat personally, then Mandrake, and finally settled on Gentoo for years. Setting that up for the first time was… interesting.
convert - convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, etc. Almost nothing it can’t do.
Yeesh, a bit alarmist. For a while you couldn’t build GNOME 3.30+ on Gentoo without systemd but they figured it out by splitting out the necessary component into its own package (elogind). The list of hard depencies on systemd isn’t very long.
I have an old Surface Book 1. I have windows 11 on it and it works ok. I can’t run anything heavy on it of course but little web browsing and zoom meeting etc. works fine. I really enjoy the awesome camera and face id login. I am worried with Linux install, the camera will not be as good. If someone can confirm their experience on SB1, I can be convinced to install Linux on it.
We like Linux. Freedom. Privacy. GNOME UI is really well adapted for tablets with it’s gestures and overview effect. Plasma is also very good. Animations are way more smooth and responsive than on Windows.
