My Daily Driver experiences so far using an SD card in a 8 GB Pi5 with an all-RPi NVME drive setup also installed...
1.) Great to see that I can now edit LibreOffice files on my OpenMediaVault NAS. Still can't Save As or create new LibreOffice files on the NAS, but this is in the right direction after a very long wait. (Mounting the NAS in a local using fstab is a nice workaround. Thanks to member thagrol for that!)
2.) Still no Natural Scroll option for the mouse. Must locate the proper rc.xml file from several on the drive, copy it to ~/.config/ and edit it to add natural scroll, ie...
<libinput>
<device category="default">
<naturalScroll>yes</naturalScroll>
</device>
</libinput>
Simon Long indicates that the new Control Centre offers more functionality so hopefully this "fix" can be done now. It's a lost cause trying to teach a 40-year long Mac user "un-natural" scrolling!
3.) Booting to the SD card using the space bar to bring up the boot menu and selecting "1" was hit or miss. After using raspi-config to select the SD card as the boot device, things worked fine.
Very pleasant clean and clear user experience for these tired old eyes. Congrats!
