Not ready to completely leave Windows behind? No worries! Don't leave your Windows files behind either. With this quick guide, you'll learn how to permanently mount a Windows folder over a network onto a Pop!_OS or Ubuntu machine, permanently. As long as there is a connection between the 2 computers, the files should be shared and accessible both ways! Just as a normal Windows file share would work.

Commands:
- sudo apt-get install samba samba-client cifs-utils libnss-winbind winbind
- sudo mkdir /media/GitHub
- sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
- sudo service networking restart
- sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
- (TO RESTORE): sudo mv /etc/fstab.old /etc/fstab
- nano /home/tcno/.smbcred
- sudo nano /etc/fstab
- sudo mount -a
- //192.168.1.20/FOLDER /media/FOLDER cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
