What you suggest sounds a lot like the “Briefcase” that was in Windows 9x. I don’t know of something similar, especially not something integrated into Linux.
The easiest way might be to setup SyncThing to share all of your different folders and then subscribe to those you need on your laptop. Just be aware that if you delete a file on your laptop it will also be deleted on your desktop on the next sync. Unsubscribe from the folder first before freeing up the disk space.
Check out the Victorinox @work series - so you can have your USB and screwdrivers always with you.
Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.
EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it’s no affiliate link, so I don’t even get anything if somebody clicks on it.
What makes you think there’s no way of updating the firmware? Also, they could be made so that there’s a simple API (like a serial device exposed via USB) and apps for Win/macOS/Linux to update the label. But I guess the demand was never there.
Same here. Like “Cold! Look elsewhere…” 🤣
It’s a shame these never took off. I’d love for my various USB drives to have displays that show their labels and maybe even contents.
What’s the big selling point compared to
ranger,nnn,yaziorbroot?
Rather use
dd_rescueas it’ll retry if it encounters any reading issue.
This! And I’d probably add par2 parity files - just in case some bitrot happens.
And it has repair tools that actually work and can make the filesystem usable again.
Back in the days we had these things. But I doubt this would work with USB-C adapters and a Steam Deck.
Most modern Intel chipsets support “Dual Role Device” (DRD) where they can act as host or client as needed.
Thank you, just checked:

I’ve never noticed any issues or long delays. My Raspberrys come up either way. Might take a bit longer if the NAS isn’t accessible - but they still come up. Only without the mounted shares, of course.
As an alternative, you could do the same using systemd.
NFS is fantastic from a practical standpoint.
Only if you don’t care about the NAS’es file permission management and have the same uid on all your systems mounting the same shares via NFS. Not sure if it’s different with other NAS implementations, but on my Synology DS415+ all files put on there via NFS get the UID from the source system. Which isn’t the UID of my user on the Synology.
E.g. on my Raspberrys, my user usually is uid 1000 / gid 1000. But on my Synology, my user is uid 1026 / gid 100. So the integrated management tools (e.g. File Station) show mangled permissions as the user with uid 1000 is not known.
And the only real solution to this is to use a Kerberos server - which I think is a bit overkill in a 1 user environment. idmap doesn’t really work on my NAS.
You can literally specify it in your fstab to mount the network share at boot.
Uh, the same is possible with any other file system, too.
//nas/share /mnt/whatever smb3 defaults,auto,username=bob,password=xxx 0 0
I figured this when IKEA started throwing out their current model for £5 a pop. Judging by how fast their stock was gone, they‘ll show up on ebay for a hefty markup any time now…
