    I ended up giving up on it after first spending 2 hours trying to learn to set up ProtonVPN (it turned out the info I was missing was that there is missing an actual download button on their site, had to accidentally find a download for ProtonVPN via a Reddit where someone else complained, then use command line a few times to actually get it working. This after how-to videos and other message boards led me nowhere). Then spending a few more trying to learn things about my NAS I couldn’t figure out, so I could try to connect it to Kubuntu and have it mount automatically. It was overwhelming, I gave up pretty fast. Nobody has time for this. I’m probably done with Linux forever. Kubuntu’s not half bad though, but Linux sure is.

      Usually I just go to the appstore on linux mint, kubuntu has a appstore called discover as for setting up a network drive, I have no idea so I asked meta.ai

      Open the File Manager (Dolphin)
      Click on Network in the left sidebar
      Click on Add Network Folder
      Select the type of network share (e.g., SMB/CIFS, NFS, etc.)
      Enter the network drive's address (e.g., smb://username@server_ip_address/share_name)
      Authenticate with your username and password (if required)
      Click Add to mount the network drive
      

      Honestly, tell me if asking AI helps you at all, because I got no idea if it’s hallucinating how it should be done.
