Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Permissions management. I recently tried creating a new exfat partition on my external HD using the default KDE Partition Manager. When finished, I found that only the current (admin) user had write access to the drive. I tried changing this using the Dophin file explorer. It appeared to let me change these permissions through the Properties menu and the drop downs within the Permissions tab, but nothing changed after hitting OK. I was eventually able to fix it using the chown command in the terminal, but I feel like I should have been able to set this when creating the partition as well as in the file explorer.
