Honestly default GNOME is probably less confusing than this for old people, and even less confusing once you customise it a little.

Seriously, this is good effort! But anything based on XFCE or Plasma is going to look technical and confusing.

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the post: curl worked by itself, just not with curlftpfs. Someone else suggested using rclone, so I’m going to try that

aarvi@fedora:~$ gio mount ftp://jack101:correct%20password@oncilla.mythic-beasts.com /mnt/jack101
gio: file:///mnt/jack101: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: ftp://jack101@oncilla.mythic-beasts.com/: Location is already mounted

I think it is already mounted, but under the annoying computer:/// virtual directory, not where I want it, and what does it mean by ‘volume doesn’t implement mount’?

Idk how to downgrade it, it doesn’t seem to be working

aarvi@fedora:~$ sudo dnf dg curl-8.8.0
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
No match for argument: curl-8.8.0
You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages
aarvi@fedora:~$ 

Hmm, that also says it should have been fixed last year

This bug is fixed in current master, set to be released in curl 8.10.0 on September 11, 2024.

I know, right? But even with -d, -v, or -o debug, that’s all I get

I could never go back to Windows, after having tasted the freedom of Linux.
