New to Bazzite and Linux in general. A few questions please..
(I tried to post on the bazzite reddit but every time the post just said it was removed by reddits filters and I have no idea why?)
Hi, I'm coming from windows and glad to be rid of its ever-increasing nonsense. I have dual-booted to Bazzite to dip my toes in without burning bridges. To Bazzite's credit I have hardly gone back to the Win partition for the last month now and I am pretty happy with it as far as replacing an OS can go. I mostly play games so that was important and why I decided to make the plunge to Linux for Bazzite specifically.
HOWEVER. In a way bazzite makes me feel like I'm back in the windows98/xp days trying out a version people have debloated, which, while successfully making it smaller, now half of whats in it doesn't run properly. It really does give me that feeling. Now I can expect 99% of my problems are stemming from just not knowing how Linux does things, but there does seem to be some things that just don't work or seem to be purposeful decisions that end up making things harder than it needs to be. Anyway I'll stop rambling and get to it.
1. I don't understand the filesystem, so I don't understand why I have to click on my other drives in dolphin to 'mount' (?) them before anything can access them. I tried looking up getting them to auto mount but the guide said i have to format them specifically to do so. No, I need whats on them to stay intact and I don't understand what would be so difficult to automate what clicking on them in dolphin does.
2.Similar to 1, I got the music player app Strawberry, but every time the PC is run I need to clear its library and re-add all the music because it doesn't think they exist anymore. This seems to be an issue with it making fake links to where the files are. How do I tell it to add the REAL file locations so it doesn't need this nonsense every time I run it.
