It will be interesting to see how much the upcoming Steam Machine will influence the Linux user % on top of Steam Deck.
I guess it will heavily depend on pricing, of course. If the price is right though, I can see adoption really take off.

I usually do straight firewire 800 to 800 via PCI card in on my desktop, but its nice having an alternative if I don't want to tie up my desktop.

Sorry, smb:// not \\smb (windows brain right now).
I store credentials in /etc/samba/credentials so my login credentials aren't in plain text in fstab.

Not too familiar with Cinnamon/Nemo, but if its just a temporary thing I use \\smb: in the address bar and it works fine (I use Gnome/Nautilus). It will prompt for credentials if there are any and thats pretty much that.
For more permanent mounts (like for my NAS), I use the fstab. Set and forget.

I can recommend autokey if you are using X11. I just set a keybind to have it autotype clipboard content and it worked really well for things like remote VMs.
Wayland while great for a vast majority of things, isn't compatible with autokey. There may be other alternatives but I am not aware of any.

Yeah all the xdg-mime command listed above does is add an entry into that file. It should look something like this (ex: entry at bottom of default applications for helloworld)

I get the same "gio: The specified location is not supported" message if the entry is missing or removed from ~/.config/mimeapps.list and/or if the desktop file is not present under ~/.local/share/applications .
If both of those requirements are met then I'm not sure what would be the cause.

Command examples:
xdg-mime default helloworld_handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/helloworld
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
xdg-mime default helloworld_handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/helloworld
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

I didn't have a use case, so I just had it call a shell script and echo parameters back to me, but outside of using xdg-mime to set helloworld as the default handler for the helloworld scheme and updating the update-desktop-database command to make it available, it worked without anything additional

Are you using the x-scheme-handler mimetype in your .desktop? If so, don't forget to register it with xdg-mime
