Is it just me or is it annoyingly finnicky to get an android device connected to Linux? I want to transfer files but its not getting mounted (unlike all my other devices like USB sticks/HDDs). And yes mtp is turned on on my device. How do you guys do that? Any convenient way? In this case I would actually appreciate a non CLI method

    @Jilano Looks cool. Is it complicated to setup? I'll have a look this evening.

    I do not have any problems like that. Every time I plug usb in my lappy and another end in my Galaxy a Nemo window pops-up for browsing.

    If I'm too lazy to look for my usb cable I usually upen up the ESExplorer and start an FTP server on my phone. Then connect to that from my Mint lappy et voila!

    I use the X-plore file manager on my phone, it is capable to use SSH connections to transfer data and I have set up SSH on all my machines anyways, so no need for additional configurations.
