For the latter, perhaps gnome-software/PackageKit needs some sort of filesystem detector that installs relevant packages. I was in the same position recently with the Apple HFS+ filesystem. > Both issues together were enough for my friend to directly move to > Linux Mint in both machines, which is not fine That is a shame, since Linux Mint isn't exactly known for its security support. I'd strongly suggest he move to Debian with cinnamon and other Linux Mint apps. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
