This is the kind of issue that makes me not want to switch to Linux yet.
My Win 8.1 computers do everything I want them to without having to search the internet or beg for help from people on forums.
I won’t get Win 10 so next time I need new computers I will consider Linux but I hope that it is more user friendly by then.
He is hooking a linux OS computer to a windows OS network and computers. And then file share between two different OS systems. This is not just a normal issue he is dealing with here. He has to use a file system “translator” between the two or a file system common to both. So it is not the linux or the windows, it is the more complicated issue of making them work with each other.
And it is not that complicated, there are loads of info out there, but how techs “explain it” to laymen can indeed be complicated. So it’s not linux it’s self, it works fantastic and is now just as user friendly as Win 7. Once in awhile you run into quirks, but it is the same thing with windows.
All I have to do is locate the file, highlight it, then go to "Edit," then "Make Link." Then all I have to do is drag the link to the Desktop and rename it.
