Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I've been running a bunch of Pi's for years now, and the biggest problem I've had is the Pi itself dying: 24/7 usage is hard on a small device. I've also found that stable power is essential, and to that end I've always used 5v 3a branded power cubes, plugged into a pure sine wave UPS. Choice of micro-SDHC cards is important and I ended up getting ATP industrial cards (https://www.atpinc.com/products/industrial-sd-cards) - expensive but really long-lived. Finally, using RPi-clone (https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone) on a regular basis has been a life-saver. I clone to Sandisk Extreme micro-SDHCs and can recover from an outage in minutes.

Boot Pi4 from an SSD, not the MicroSD card
I would normally use the Pi SD-Card copier to duplicate the SD-Card to an SSD but I'm unsure if this is available on the Ubuntu image - you could possibly use this program [Github] if you are not keen on using dd with a running system.

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD
Then you will need to clone the SD to the SSD, you can use many tools that are available from your desktop computer or you can try with rpi-clone, just connect the SSD with Pi booted from SD, stop any possible service/docker to prevent any copy error and run, adapting device naming but usually will be (check device with dmesg):

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD..
I used rpi-clone, it was super easy. Whole process took 10 minutes. https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone
- I wish I wouldβve switched to SSD Boot years ago
- Is it possible to convert an bootable sd to a bootable usb-ssd?

How do I go about hosting a shared drive for both Windows and Linux
The TLDR is that you create the filesystem on Linux/Raspberry Pi. Then you "export" that file system via some software to remote computers. You can use Samba (https://www.samba.org/) to create CIFS shares which can be mounted by either Linux or Microsoft Windows devices. There are of course other software/protocols you can use to export the filesystems like NFS, iSCSI, CEPHFS, etc; but these are a bit more complicated than what a novice can deploy. I would start with Samba/CIFS and then branch out once you get more experienced.

Go SMB Server?
You could try to use samba via cgo.

Is there any r/rust library for "net use"?
I think you want a CIFS/SMB client? A quick search turned up smbc, which looks like it does what you want. All three crates are based on libsmbclient, which is a C implementation from the Samba project.

Major Linux Problems on the Desktop, 2022 edition
> First, the article doesn't say that "Linux is not ready for the desktop" - or concern itself with this as an abstract question.
Well, it does, but in a sarcastic manner:
"Yeah, let's consider Linux an OS ready for the desktop :-)."
> Also, I find the "GNU/Linux is already ready for the desktop; I and others use it" argument tired. I've used GNU/Linux for the desktop in 1998, but it sure as hell wasn't ready then.
Conversely, that it doesn't work for certain people does not mean that "it is not ready", which the post does state (sarcastically) as I pointed out above.
> Many use cases aside...
I'm not sure how the browsing, docs and email is miserable, maybe you can expand on that. The video editing is indeed a bit limited from my experience too. However, I don't think "limited proprietary options" is a problem. The community largely and specifically avoids proprietary software. Proprietary incursions into the community are generally seen as a negative thing. And for the lack of codecs, software patents for the most part are to blame.
And then it just comes to my original statement; many things stated in the article are non-issues to most Linux users or just falsehoods:
- Neither Mozilla Firefox nor Google Chrome use video decoding and output acceleration in Linux.
Firefox does.
- NVIDIA Optimus technology is a pain
NVIDIA is a pain.
- You don't play games, do you?
I do.
- Linux still has very few native AAA games.
So "it's not ready" because it doesn't have AAA games? What a pitty.
- To be fair you can now run thousands of Windows games through DirectX to Vulkan/OpenGL translation (Wine, Proton, Steam for Linux) but this incurs translation costs and decreases performance sometimes significantly.
No, not 'significantly' for dxvk.
- Also, anti-cheat protection usually doesn't work in Linux.
For good reason. Blame the dev, and don't make it work on Linux.
- Microsoft Office is not available for Linux
Thankfull.
- LibreOffice often has major troubles properly opening, rendering or saving documents created in Microsoft Office.
And whose fault is this? Use ODT.
- Several crucial Windows applications are not available under Linux.
Thankfully. Also, 'crucial' is subjective.
- In 2022 there's still no alternative to Windows Network File Sharing.
It's available since 1992: https://www.samba.org/
- Linux doesn't have a reliably working hassle-free fast native (directly mountable via the kernel; FUSE doesn't cut it) MTP implementation.
I can transfer files to my phone just fine.
- Too many things in Linux require manual configuration using text files.
No.
etc.

Get linux samba shares to show up in windows again
I have a media server that runs ubuntu, and today I wanted to copy some files off of it from my windows laptop. But the samba shares weren't showing up in file explorer (but they showed up on fine on my macbook).
