can confirm. I can understand how to make things work as I need it to in Linux, but I figured I’d try bazzote because people were saying how great it is. knowing how to manipulate Linux how I want, and using bazzite because very annoying because of the restrictions which I didn’t read about before hand. I wasn’t blaming Linux as a whole, just bazzitr specifically for trying to protect me. essentially they let me break it, but wouldn’t let me fix it.

When you say all those words in a sentence, I have honestly no idea what you are saying.

ya know. I’ve read this a lot directed at me… I clearly have a communication issue. I’ll reread everything and try to figure myself out .

I just quasi ran into storage issues. have 1 qnap with 16tb raid1… NTFS

I can’t for the life of me get it to connect to Linux, detects it being connected, won’t display as a drive.

I stupidly installed bazzite, which is stupidly restrictive (so I’ve learned) on fstab… found out after I had to boot into grub to edit fstab back since it wouldnt let me edit the file since bazzite revoked me root access? ok… that was the deal breaker for me (with bazzite, not Linux)

yes, but I first would like for you to approach someone who catches your eye, say hello and ask them how their day is going.

I think it’s best to not anticipate, wait for things to exist them PROPERLY adopt them, unlike … Microsoft who seems to guess at everything and just hope it doesn’t break constantly
