Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

I think you should try out different file managers like GNOME files or Dolphin from KDE. One might solve your issue with iPhone

    I can get to the phone data with Nemo. It’s just flakey. I’ve used Dolphin, but when comparing then the look of Nemo seemed to win. In practice, having nemo bomb out every other day is frustrating. I’ll take a peek at Hnome files. Thanks for the suggestion!

    And I do enjoy the command line plugin(?) for Nemo. It is handy for sure (it provides a command prompt that follows along wherever you cd to. Maybe enabling some of the plugins is causing the instability with Nemo….
