    SMB is the linux version of Windows File Sharing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) It is rather easy to use. Check out the manual, it is long but actually good. On linux, use smbclient to mount a remote share. It’s also quite easy to set up servers that can be accessed from both Windows and Linux, with lots of options on how to handle/simplify permissions.

    CIFS is something similar that seems to be faster, but I’ve only used it as a client. On Windows, WinSCP works great with it. On linux you can use mount CIFS remote directories locally like this: mount -t cifs //HOSTNAME/REMOTEPATH LOCALPATH -o username=USERNAME,domain=DOMAIN.

    Ask google or a good LLM for the details on this stuff :)














  • It seems this function is missing in MAUI on linux yet :/

    To be fair, I think there are almost more GUI frameworks specifically for dotnet on Windows, each of which has been “the standard that everyone should follow” for a year or two, than there are DEs for linux. It’s ridiculous how often Microsoft changes their mind.
