And that's totally fine. Linux should work just fine for that setup, I'm just not very familiar with it.
Next time you're booted into Linux, try the network drive thing again, maybe it'll work better. I'm guessing you missed a checkbox or something to reconnect after a reboot.
If you still have issues, I can try the GUI with my NAS, which should be similar enough to help. Just let me know what distro and desktop environment you're running and what didn't work.
I think so? I know there's a way to import games, which I think works with an installer. Give it a shot!
WireGuard is just the built-in Linux kernel support for VPNs. The main alternative is OpenVPN, which runs as a regular program and generally has worse performance and VPN providers can be finicky about which clients work properly.
So if a VPN service offers WireGuard, prefer that and things will probably work more smoothly.
Perhaps...
Problem is I don't have Linux installed anymore. After my switching attempt catastrophically failed last time, I (reluctantly) reinstalled Windows.
Oh! That makes sense. I can't remember if ProtonVPN offers WireGuard support for Linux... I know it does for Windows.
