Could've been a post by me. Almost the same journey that started two years earlier. From GNOME 2 to lxde to i3. Less moving parts means less things that break.

Could've been a post by me. Almost the same journey that started two years earlier. From GNOME 2 to lxde to i3. Less moving parts means less things that break. I can introduce new tools to my workflow as I see fit, not as some huge DE decides to do with a big overhaul between versions. After enough hassle with gvfs and auto mount, I even ditched that and now mount every USB device I plug in via the command line. It sure is archaic, but it works and becomes second nature after a while. I've dist-upgraded one desktop system for about a decade now with zero surprises.
- walteweiss 3y agoI do the manual mount too! I have /mnt/usb directory and the devices I mount are usually something like /dev/sdb1 on my laptop. So ctrl+r and the command `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb` is in my history already. No difficulty here, as I mount a USB device like once a month or two.
