  • Unless your company’s IT department specifically setup the drives on the local network to be accessible from other OS’s then Windows, you won’t be able to connect to them, without setting up Samba/CIFS.

    As others have status, if you are allowed to use Linux as a company device, ask your IT department how to access the company stuff. If you are not really allowed and are just doing, you probably won’t have access to much that is not a webapp.


  • General Fedora feedback: the discover update app feels lacking here. As a new user, I expect more of a description about what each application/service is as well as a clickable link to read more about the app and the update.

    That’s because Discover handles 3 types of updates.

    1. Applications from a “Store”. These are the ones you are expecting with descriptions and such.
    2. Packages from the repository of the distro. These are the ones you have listed. They are “technical” package names, not limited to applications. Can also be libraries, dependencies and system stuff.
    3. Firmware. If you have enabled the Linux Firmware option in Discover, you will get presented with special firmware packages.
















  • Before doing so, though, I wanted to ask if there was any formal policy or rule for the community that could help cut down on thr spam, and if so, what would be most useful for me to do when I see a spam post? That I’d, is the Report button the right tool, is there some other way to let moderators know?

    Rule 7 as stated in the sidebar of this community: “No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.”

    So yes. Use the report tool and downvote it to oblivion.
