– Is it easier to share a Ubuntu 22.04 folder with win11 PC on a local network, than sharing files from a Pinephone to a PC? Is this easy solution to solve this problem a Ubuntu 22.04 and windows 11 specific solution? So why then do we not use a single board computer running Ubuntu 22.04 on it and share from there our folder to a Windows 11 PC? The problem is to find a low power single board computer who is running Ubuntu 22.04. on it.
Important notice:
This does not work with Windows 10, only with Windows 11
But it should work with a second Ubuntu 22.04 machine. Wibble from the Pine64 forum helped us before by informing us, networking is easier from Linux to Linux than from Linux to Windows.
