Not fit for (my) purpose
Linux installs still have a long way to go as far as I am concerned. I recently (as in during the last month) tried upgrading one of my laptops from Win10 to a Linux falvour (Zorin in this case).
I will admit that the actual installation was painless. Setting up Zorin to be able to use Windows software was also failry painless. And the came the first of my requirements and it all fell apart.
I have a few NAS boxes around the house. They run AFP, NFS and (yes) SMB protocols. On Windows, I can go to File Exporer, find a NAS box, and then put a link to that NAS box on my desktop. I repeat: the NAS box itself, not the various volumes, filesystems and shares it contains. I click on the NAS box icon, and I get to see said contents. Great.
Not so under Linux. Even though the vairous file explorers I tried allow me to see the NAS boxes (and top-level listings of the contents) there was no way for me to create a desktop icon to do the same. Instead, everyone I asked kept pointing out how easy it is to automount each volume/share and put a link to those on the desktop. Great. So instead of just 5 icons on my desktop (one for each NAS) I would have a plethora of icons to each individual share.
Yeah, failure on the first of my requirements. So I restored a clone of my Win10 installation (I sure wasn't going to test Linux without making sure I could undo everything) and I am now looking at other solutions. Which is a shame, 'cause I have several home servers, automation servers, and (yes) home-built NAS boxes happily running various flavours of Linux. But the desktop still isn't there.
Linux is not ready for *my* purposes. Of course, YMMV.
