I want to be able to download photos from my new cellphone to Gentoo.
The phone is a Samsung A14 5G ; its pet name is Athene.
I use KDE to manage my desktops on my desktop machine ANB6.

Manjaro suggests soomething called 'MTP' is involved,
perhaps 'Media Transfer Protocol' (?).
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get this to work on Gentoo ?
No KDE nor GNOME here but this works in XFCE:

The phone auto-mounts as soon as you switch Android to 'file transfer'
and works well for me, less so for my daughter when she tries to
transfer 10's of Gb of videos.
