    The Deb installs mostly. Example, when I installed Lutris, it wouldn’t allow me to install games on the extra NVMe drive I have in the system. I uninstalled Lutris and installed the deb version from the Pop Shop (when you COULD do that) and it allowed me to install games where I liked. Just chalked it up to a Flatpak problem. Now I have Lutris installed, use it without issues, and I’m not going to try and solve Flatpak issues by re-installing it. It’s not worth my time.

    Calibre
    Discord
    Filebot
    Lutris
    OpenRGB
    Proton Mail
    ProtonUp-QT
    Spotify

    Only apps installed that I haven’t had issues with flatpak:
    Handbrake
    Shortwave
    Tor
    Putty

    Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I’m not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.













  • Ok, after some looking around and testing, think I finally got what I wanted.

    First, map the share, err mount the network share. Gotta use the Linux lingo. :P
    sudo mount -t cifs -o username=MyUserName //PlexServerName/Sharename /mnt/movies/
    Will have to enter both the sudo password and remote Plex server password manually, but that works for me as this is a manual, not automated, process.

    And to sync:
    sudo rsync -hvrPt --ignore-existing /Drive/SourceFolder/ /mnt/movies/

    I was reading somewhere that using -a would add more options that might gum up the works, so I manually expressed what I wanted instead. But I finally got what I was looking for. If you have any suggestions, chime in. Thanks!
